Try:

function plotlegend(textv)

ax_save=gca;

x = .2;
y = .8;
xw = .3;

i = 1;
for kid = kids'
   if strcmp(get(kids(1),'Type'),'line') == 1
      color = get(kid,'Color');
      linestyle = get(kid,'Linestyle');
      rect = [x , y, xw, yw];

      ax = axes('position', rect);
      curve = plot([ 0 0.4],[0.5 0.5]);
      set(ax,'XLim',[0 1],'YLim',[0 1],...
        'XLimMode','manual','YLimMode','manual',...
        'Box','off','XColor','k','YColor','k')
      set(curve, 'Color', color, 'Linestyle', linestyle)

      th = text(0.5,.5,textv(i));
      i = i + 1;
      y = y - .05;
   end
end
axes(ax_save)
