 Subject: Matlab and Latex From: Omkar Palsule-Desai Date: 16 Nov, 2008 10:16:02 Message: 1 of 7 Hi, I am trying to have a legend of a graph in Matlab as '\overline{W}' (this is a latex style). However, I am getting the output as 'overline W'. I do get correct output of other Latex command on the same graph. May I get some suggestions on this? Thank you, Omkar

 Subject: Matlab and Latex From: Omkar Palsule-Desai Date: 16 Nov, 2008 17:34:01 Message: 3 of 7 Hi, I am not sure if I got your message. I am giving the command as legend{'\alpha', '\overline{W}'} I am getting '\alpha' typed in correctly, but I get 'overlineW' as the output. I am not sure what is wrong here.

Try this:   plot(x1,y1,x2,y2) % or whatever your plot is   % Use legend text that's about the width of the final result.   h = legend('a','W');   % Find the first text object (alpha) and change it.   h1 = findobj(get(h,'Children'),'String','a');   set(h1,'String','$\alpha$','Interpreter','latex')   % Find the second text object (W) and change it.   h2 = findobj(get(h,'Children'),'String','W');   set(h2,'String','$\overline{W}$','Interpreter','latex') -- Doug Schwarz dmschwarz&ieee,org Make obvious changes to get real email address.
 Subject: Matlab and Latex From: Bob Gilmore Date: 3 Dec, 2008 16:53:33 Message: 5 of 7 Doug, It's not necessary to go "poking around" inside of the legend; the handle to a legend has an Interpreter property that you can set: >> plot(1:10) >> legend('$\overline{W}$') >> h = legend; >> set(h, 'interpreter', 'latex') Hope that helps, -- Bob Gilmore, The MathWorks, Inc.

Hi Bob, Thanks for that info. Actually, I suspected that and tried   legend('$\overline{W}$','Interpreter','latex') but it doesn't work. You have to get the handle and set the interpreter afterwards. Why is that? It's counter to normal handle graphics syntax. -- Doug Schwarz dmschwarz&ieee,org Make obvious changes to get real email address.
 Subject: Matlab and Latex From: Stefan Date: 3 Dec, 2008 21:43:02 Message: 7 of 7 Hi there, for including pictures in latex i would advise you to search the file exchange for 'laprint'.
