How to put a name / unit in ColorBar

13 views (last 30 days)
I created an image through some variables obtained.
I wanted to put a ColorBar with the name of the variable and also the unit.
I have accomplished the easiest task, to put a colorbar in the graph.
Can someone help me with how to put the name/units of the colorbar?
This part of the code looks like this:
image(rho); colorbar('location','SouthOutside'); colormap(hsv(10));
Sorry if this question is too simple. I'm just a beginner student in MatLab and programming.

cbh = colorbar('location', 'SouthOutside');
set(cbh, 'Units', 'normal');
text(0, 9/10, 'hello', 'Parent', cbh)

I don't have MATLAB on this computer, but if I remember correctly, isn't there a demo in the help for colorbar(), or maybe colormap(), that shows how to change out the words beside the tick marks of a colorbar to something you specify?
