HI! I am currently plotting a graph (with 3 different entries) and I want to create a legend within the for loop that would show each iteration for the 3 different I/O how should I approach this? The current legend i have does not update with each iteration

Hi, can you provide a little more context to your issue. For example, do you have three different plots? Or just one where the legend changes every iteration? Any code provided to help frame this would be appreciated

It's strange that bode() doesn't seem to output the plot handles.
Anyway, here are two options using fake data; the first is best if your code can be adapted to it.
Fake data
H1 = tf([1 0.1 7.5],[1 0.12 9 0 0]);
H2 = tf([1 0.3 7.5],[1 0.12 9 0 0]);
H3 = tf([1 0.5 7.5],[1 0.12 9 0 0]);
Option 1: no loop
bode(H1, 'r', H2, 'b', H3, 'k')
legend({'H1', 'H2', 'H3'})
Option 2: with loop * you have to 'hold' your axes!
values = {H1, H2, H3};
H = values{1};
figure()
bode(H)
axh = findall(gcf, 'type', 'axes');
hold(axh(3),'on') % upper axis
hold(axh(2),'on') % lower axis
for i = 2:numel(values)
bode(values{i})
end
legend(axh(3), {'H1', 'H2', 'H3'}) % upper axis
legend(axh(2), {'H1', 'H2', 'H3'}) % lower axis
