how to plot a figure with a title in Farsi or Arabic?

8 views (last 30 days)
Dear
How can I plot a figure with a title in Farsi. What I want to do is more complex than just simple title, but for now, plotting a simple figure with one Farsi word is satisfactory. Any help is appreciated in advance.
sample code:
figure; title('عکس','FontName','FreeFarsi','FontSize',20);
I have also tried the above code with other fonts, but it did not work either.
x=listfonts slCharacterEncoding('UTF-8'); figure; for i=1:numel(x) display(x{i}) title('عکس','Color','red','FontName','FreeFarsi','FontSize',20) pause end

If you intend to use the figure in a publication, you can add or edit the text easily in powerpoint, word, adobe etc.

Yes, but the result won't be satisfactory. Besides that, I want to have some legend with Farsi labels. The legend will show what each color represents, and the colors are assigned randomly, so I do not know what the labels refer to; then how can I correct something that I do not know?

You can use this codes for title and label. These ara just simple examples. Just type or copy these in 'Command Window'. It seems they don't work in 'Editor' window.
ylabel({'تغییر مکان جانبی نسبی',' (mm)'},'FontWeight','bold','FontSize',12,...
'FontName','Bookman');
title({'نمودار'});
You can apply any changes to your plot using the tabs on plot window especially 'insert'. After adding the hole labels and other requirments, click on 'Generate code' under 'file' tab. There would be all codes you need for your specific setting.
