How to change the position of the subtext?

Dear all,

I am adding text to the figure using the next command:

text('string','NO_{x}','Units','normalized','position',[0.24,0.45],'fontsize',18,'backgroundcolor','none','edgecolor','none','color',[238 154 7]./255,'fontname','arial')

I was expecting that the 'x' would not be too low but the text came out in the figure like this:

How am I supposed to adjust the relative position of a subtext? I know that using latex interpreter would make it seem much better but is there any other options to keep the font style at the same time?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can try separating the subtext into a second ‘text’ object. You can adjust the x and y coordinates of second text object as needed to change the position of the subtext.

text('string','NO','Units','normalized','position',[0.24,0.45],'fontsize',18,'backgroundcolor','none','edgecolor','none','color',[238 154 7]./255,'fontname','arial')
text('string','x','Units','normalized','position',[0.32,0.41],'fontsize',13,'backgroundcolor','none','edgecolor','none','color',[238 154 7]./255,'fontname','arial','VerticalAlignment','bottom')

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much! I notice that the fontstyle could also affect the performance of subtexts, and I think your method is great by keeping the original fontstyle.
