I forgot, to mension that :

- @Ben : copyobj won't do the job, it can't copy a legend without its corresponding axes, and it finally creates a legend that will (should) behave as the original.
- @Juan : to make a legend behave like an ordinary axes (at least for "position") you can change "tag" and "userdata" properties 
(with "lg" the legend handle ) :
set (lg, "tag", "")
set (lg, "userdata", [])
set (lg, "position", [x0 y0 width height])
