Axis Labels and Titles

The xlabel, ylabel, and zlabel commands add x-, y-, and z-axis labels. The title command adds a title at the top of the figure and the text function inserts text anywhere in the figure. A subset of TeX notation produces Greek letters. You can also set these options interactively. See Editing Plots for more information.

• t = -pi:pi/100:pi;
  y = sin(t);
  plot(t,y)
  axis([-pi pi -1 1])
  xlabel('-\pi \leq {\itt} \leq \pi')
  ylabel('sin(t)')
  title('Graph of the sine function')
  text(1,-1/3,'{\itNote the odd symmetry.}')
