two stacked y labels on one single y axis

Hi,

I am trying to recreate the above graph. However, I cannot get the two ylabels in the correct places. I'd rather not do it manually using the figure editor, but if there is no other option, then i will.

 figure
xlim([80 140])
ylim([-0.1 1.4])

 ylabel('$\displaystyle\frac{f_v}{f_n}$','interpreter','latex')
% This is the second y label 
% ylabel('$\displaystyle\frac{Y}{D}$','interpreter','latex')

 xlabel('\it{Re}','interpreter','latex')
ylh = get(gca,'ylabel');                                                      
ylp = get(ylh, 'Position');
set(ylh, 'Rotation',0, 'Position',ylp, 'VerticalAlignment','middle',...
    'HorizontalAlignment','right')

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Lloyd

Insert some empty values between the two LaTeX strings to create spaces (this works with cell arrays):

ytxt = {'$\displaystyle\frac{f_v}{f_n}$';[];[];[];[];[];[];[];[];[];[];'$\displaystyle\frac{Y}{D}$'};
ylabel(ytxt,'interpreter','latex')

Experiment to get the result you want.

EDIT — A somewhat more efficient version that produces the same result (in R2018a):

ytxt = {'$\displaystyle\frac{f_v}{f_n}$';char(repmat(' ',10,1));'$\displaystyle\frac{Y}{D}$'};

Vary the number of spaces (here 10) in the repmat call to produce the result you want. It must always be a column vector.

Works perfectly! Thank you Star Strider and thanks for all the speedy responses everyone.
