How to put names of events in a listed vector?

8 views (last 30 days)
I want to put names in a column vector like this: Event1 Event2 etc
The only way to can do this right now is if I make each event the same size using space bar (or a period because a spacebar wont show up in the question) like this: a=[event1..;event345;event45.;etc....];
As you can see they are all the same size. However, this is a problem because 1) it takes forever and 2) when it comes to plot these names, all the letters of a single name plot in the exact same area, making it unreadable if that makes sense. How do I change this? Thanks.

Can you use a cell array of strings instead? E.g., {'event1','event345','event45', etc }. That way the strings do not need to be the same length with blank padding at the end. Also, several MATLAB functions work with cell arrays of strings as inputs.
