Otherwise, you may build your own routine to make the coordinates change

In both legend() and captions() are pos/ location handles available, like
"in upper right". I think it would be reasonalbe to add this this argument
to xstring as well. Hence I filled this bug:

I am afraid that you are making still worse the already very bad
situation about<br>
legends(), legend(), captions() and the leg= plotting options, that
all basically<br>
do the same thing, but all with pitfalls:

<br>
<b>By the way, why improving xstring() in this way to make it
legend-like instead</b><b><br>
</b><b>of using one of the existing functions?</b> In one hand, you
agree on removing duplicates<br>
like xstringl() of stringbox() (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/14755#c1">http://bugzilla.scilab.org/14755#c1</a>)
. In the other hand,<br>
you are aiming to make a 5-plicate ;) Arrrg.<br>
I definitely disagree on making xstring() modifying the margins.
IMO, it would be much<br>
better a) to actually gather existing legends functions, b) to add
missing features to the merged version.<br>
