MATLAB Function Reference |
Produce TeX format from character string
Syntax
Description
texlabel(f)
converts the MATLAB expression f
into the TeX equivalent for use in text strings. It processes Greek variable names (e.g., lambda, delta, etc.) into a string that is displayed as actual Greek letters.
texlabel(f,'literal')
prints Greek variable names as literals.
If the string is too long to fit into a figure window, then the center of the expression is replaced with a tilde ellipsis (~~~).
Examples
You can use texlabel
as an argument to the title
, xlabel
, ylabel
, zlabel
, and text
commands. For example,
By default, texlabel
translates Greek variable names to the equivalent Greek letter. You can select literal interpretation by including the literal
argument. For example, compare these two commands.
text(.5,.5,... texlabel('lambda12^(3/2)/pi - pi*delta^(2/3)')) text(.25,.25,... texlabel('lambda12^(3/2)/pi - pi*delta^(2/3)','literal'))
