Hello Team, I want to create an array of legend names for a plot. The final array should look like this:
legend_names = ["Case_1", "Case_2", Case_3", ......., "Case_30"]
So, I created a loop to create the variable names,
For ii=1:30
name = sprintf("Case_%d", ii); %%% to create the Case_X names
legend_names = append......?? %%% to create the array as mentioned before
end
Not sure how to construct the array in the loop.
Thanks for your help!

If you are using strings, you can create this just using "+".
legend_names = "Case_" + string(1:5)

Set the tex interpreter to none.
legend(legend_names,'Interpreter',"none")

Easier is to use compose()
legend_names = compose('Case_%d', 1:30)
It create a cell array which can be directly use with legend()
legend(legend_names)
You can also directly create a string array
legend_names = compose("Case_%d", 1:30)
