Thread Subject: Custom labels to contour plots

Dear users,

I am trying to assign custom labels to a contour plot. However, when I try to use 'TextList', no labels are assigned at all:

[C,h] = contour(peaks, 3);
clabel(C,h);

nicely gives me the contours and their levels. However, when I try to use different labels:
[C,h] = contour(peaks, 3, 'TextList', [1 2 3]);
clabel(C,h);

no labels are given at all.

Also the alternative:
clabel(C,h, [1 2 3])
gives no labels.

Of course I could go though all the children of clabel and change the label, but I guess there must be something simpler.
