I'm using the following code, however I want to include a '\rightarrow'. If I include this in the string I get an error because the latex interpreter doesn't work. How can I keep the 'p*' in latex but include a '\rightarrow' too?

text('Interpreter','latex',...
'String','${p*}$',...
'Position',[0,0.347],...
'FontSize',12)

Thanks, J.

Hi J, I'm not sure I understand your problem exactly, does this work for you?

text(x,y,'$p* \rightarrow$','Interpreter','latex',...
'FontSize',12)

because it works for me. Is this not what you want?

Wayne
