More line objects returned by findobj() than there are lines

Hello!

I am looking to change the legend color and am using the following snippet of code:

x = 0:10; 
y1 = 5*x; % Line 1
y2 = 5*x + 5; % Line 2
fig = fig + 1; figure(fig); 
plot(x,y1,'k'), hold on 
plot(x,y2,'b'), hold on
hleg = legend('Line 1','Line 2')
hlegline = findobj(hleg,'Type','Line')
set(hlegline(2), 'Color', 'g');
set(hlegline(4), 'Color', 'r');

As you can see, I am using objects 2 and 4. My question is, what do objects 1 and 3 represent, i.e. hlegline(1) and hlegline(3), respectively? I haven't been able to detect the difference nor find the answer online.

Thank you for your help!

Try this to understand

set(hlegline(1),'marker','*')
set(hlegline(1),'marker','o')
set(hlegline(3),'marker','o')
set(hlegline(3),'color','y')

Thanks, Azzi! :-)

You can get all the properties of the handle hlegline(3) by

set(hlegline(3))
