hello
I assume you know the string length of the words you use in the legend
Decane is one letter shorter compared to Heptane, so simply add one trailling blank to it and you should be good

So long as a variable-width font is in use, you're going to be fighting it.
y = rand(3,10);
plot(y);
% all three strings have the same number of characters
lstr = {'Heptane 100\circC', ... % note that they all line up here
'Decane 100\circC', ...
'Thing 100\circC'};
legend(lstr)
Tabs don't seem to work either. I can think of two options
- Use a fixed-width font and add regular spaces as padding
- Compensate for variable-width fonts by using various space widths
To the latter option, see this:
y = rand(3,10);
plot(y);
lstr = {'Heptane 100\circC', ... % this is the reference line
['Decane' repmat(char(8202),1,10) '100\circC'], ...
['Thing' repmat(char(8202),1,26) '100\circC']};
legend(lstr)
It will vary depending on the font used, and it won't likely be perfect.

It is ludicrous a fully commercial high level program like Matlab offers no proper aligning in legends. Can't it be added with a next patch? For example enable latex standalone documents in legends.
