Nice and simple. Works OK if the xlimits and ylimits are across similar ranges. In such cases, or where plotting will be similar each call, this should be great. Otherwise the arrowhead shape is a bit unpredictable due to distortion.

I ended up going back to arrow.m (by Erik A. Johnson, it is on the file exchange. Yes that does look like a monster, at nearly 1400 lines!).

This is really useful to me and I have used it quite a bit.

I noticed however that comment lines are not fully removed but instead leave a blank line (apart from the very first line which will be fully removed if it is a comment). My work-around is shown below (although it has the downside of removing ALL blank lines - whether commented or not).

Replace the following lines:
if(~isempty(opts.comment)) % Remove comments.
  text= regexprep(text, ['^\' opts.comment '[^' eol ']*' eol], '');
  text= regexprep(text, [ '\' opts.comment '[^' eol ']*'], '');
end

with these lines:
if(~isempty(opts.comment)) % Remove comments.
  text= regexprep(text, ['\' opts.comment '[^' eol ']*'], ''); % Remove commented line endings (but in the case of whole-lines this leaves a blank line!).
  text= regexprep(text, [eol '+'], eol); % Remove blank lines, part 1: remove multiple eol instances (2 in a row = a blank line)
  text= regexprep(text, ['^' eol '+'], ''); % Remove blank lines, part 2: if there is an eol at the beginning then remove it.
end

It works faster than tlabel.m (also on the file exchange, by Carlos Adrian Vargas Aguilera). However the date formats that is uses are annoying for me as an australian: we use day then month then year, or the reverse, but NEVER month/day/year.

Hence I will be sticking with tlabel until a australian option is available.

I can't fairly give it a rating as it is probably great for americans.
