legends were chopped off but I think that with all the
insight you provided, we can adapt your "legends_mc"
function in order to create a sister "legend_mc" function;
automated using the "legend" command, the width of the
legend blocks and the plot margins property, so that we do
not need to manually position the legends outside the plots.</span></p>

legends_mc() already allows automatic positionnings (see the list of
features<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://fileexchange.scilab.org/toolboxes/274000">https://fileexchange.scilab.org/toolboxes/274000</a> )<br>
legend() (singular) does not allow multicolumn blocs, because only 1
legend() child <br>
and with a single column is allowed and can be attached to each
axes: next calls to <br>
legend() replace the previous bloc.<br>
<br>
I was wondering about improving the legending for a long time: <br>

and other reports. <br>
I hope that this legends_mc() should improve a bit the situation.<br>
