Thread Subject: Latex Label creates an annyoing '1'

Hi!

If I have a figure/plot and set the interpreter for the
ylabel to LaTeX then there will appear a strange '1'
character everytime.

This character (it might be the number 1 or the letter l) is
orientated like the label, but is positioned much farther to
the right and to the top of the plot. In fact it is beyond
the borders of the plot. I only noticed it when using
several plots in one figure (via subplot), but it appears in
single plot figure also, but the character is outside of the
visible area (but you can resize the plot and move it to the
left and bottom and then will the strange character appear too).

This character appears on prints too.

This bug seems to appear in 2007a and 2007b. And it just
looks like as if this character 1 is a kind of page number.
Perhaps Matlab uses a default style for the LaTeX
interpreter where page numbering is active?

Try to see yourself:

figure
axes
ylabel('foo','Interpreter','Latex')

The 'page number' appears sometimes within the plot,
sometimes outside the plot and sometimes beyond the visible
area (then you have to move the plot). I think this depends
on the screen resolution and the original plot size
(different in subplots).

Perhaps this issue has also something to do with the
bounding box bug (in eps exports). I believe this issue was
fixed, but perhaps just by an workaround?

The "1" is a LaTeX page number. The bug has already been submitted to
The MathWorks.

The only workaround is to suppress the page number like this:

  ylabel('\thispagestyle{empty}anything','Interpreter','latex')
