I want to name the line graphs in y axis like this (in red).
Program as follows
for i=1:9
g=GG(:,i)+i;
plot(X,g)
hold on
end
end

use the function text
text(X, Y, STR)
will place the string STR at the location (X,Y) on the current axes.

Two options,
1) change the tick labels
set(gca,'ylim',[0 10],'ytick',1:9,'yticklabel',arrayfun(@(k) sprintf('%-.1f',k),-0.8:0.2:0.8,'un',0))
2) change the y-values

I would set the DisplayName property of each line as I created it, then call legend with the 'show' option afterwards.
M = magic(5);
for k = 1:size(M, 2)
plot(M(:, k), 'DisplayName', num2str(k, 'M(:, %d)'))
hold on
end
legend show
