Thread Subject: How to add a variable as a text?

i have this problem that i want to add a text to my plot, i already know this command text(x,y,'string'). The problem is i want to put a variable instead of the string. Shall i try another command or what?

So just pass in a string variable instead of a literal. You can use
sprintf() if you need to embed a numerical variable in the string
variable, like this:
annotationText = sprintf('The value is %.2f\nIs that great or what?',
numericalVariable);
text(x,y, annotationText);
