How to rotate xline label with vertical orientation?

Hello, in my figure I have a xline with a label. The orientation of this label is vertical and can be read from the bottom to the top of the figure. I need a rotated label, always in a vertical orientation but readable from the top to the bottom. Is it possible?

Many thanks,

Sofia

Hi Sofia,

You can follow the workaround mentioned to get the text label in vertical orientation but readable from the top to the bottom.

% Add an xline
xlinePosition = 5; % Example position for the xline
xline(xlinePosition, 'Color', 'r', 'LineWidth', 2);

% Add a custom text label for the xline
labelText = 'My Label';

% Adjust y position and 'VerticalAlignment' as needed
text(xlinePosition, max(y), labelText, 'Rotation', -90, ...
     'VerticalAlignment', 'bottom', 'HorizontalAlignment', 'left');

You can make the position adjustments of the line and text label according to your needs.

I hope it is helpful.
