When there are a lot of lines on a plot, it can be difficult to use a legend to distinguish individual lines. How can I label individual lines on a plot in MATLAB?

Adding a text label directly to a "Line" object is not available as of MATLAB R2024b. However, the "annotation" function or "text" function can be used to label individual lines on a plot.

• The "annotation" function can be used to create a text arrow pointing to a line on a plot. Refer to the MATLAB documentation for more information and examples.
• The "text" function can be used to add a text description to a point on a plot. Refer to the MATLAB documentation for more information and examples.
