How can to add a line break in Latex?

LS,

I would like to make a line break within an Latex equation. The command

\newline

in the next code is not working:

text('Position',PosOne, 'interpreter','latex', 'string','$$\ a= \newline \frac{b}{c} $$');

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Your help is appreciated a lot.

Best regards,

Frits

text(0.5, 0.5, ...
     'string', {'$$a=$$', '$$\ \frac{b}{c}$$'}, ...
     'interpreter', 'latex');

or:

text(0.5, 0.5, ...
     'string', ['$$a=$$', char(10), '$$\ \frac{b}{c}$$'], ...
     'interpreter', 'latex');

Hi Jan,

Thanks a lot for your answer! It works perfectly

Do you probably also know how to adjust the line spacing and how to center the formula?

Best,

Hi, I found this old post and I have a similar problem. Did you solve yours? How can I have 2 lines with the latex interpreter and have the centra alignment at the same time?

Hello, the multiline in text() can be done by making cell array (of chars or strings), or string array from the desired text. For example:

text(0.5, 0.1, {'$$a=$$', '$$\ \frac{b}{c}$$'},'interpreter', 'latex');

or

text(0.5, 0.4, ["$$a=$$", "$$\ \frac{b}{c}$$"],'interpreter', 'latex');

Will generate "a=", "newline","b/c", while char array will just connect the letters, without any "newline":

text(0.5, 0.7, ['$$a=$$', '$$\ \frac{b}{c}$$'],'interpreter', 'latex');
