Hi Jiang,

my problem is:

if have a vector double array a and b and a cell array m with the size (100x1). I want to add each text from cell array m to point(a,b).

I have tried text command: text(a,b,m). it worked but quite slow. I just want to know, if another effective command in this situation exist?

text is powerful and fast, if you call it correctly. It is the best function to insert text in axes objects. You will not find a "faster" or "more ideal" function to do this. So my answer is: No, I do not know an alternative. At least not based on the gived details. Maybe you want to share what you want to achieve, which code you use and which limitations you see. If text works slowly in your code, this can be caused by an inefficient way to use it.

By the way, if there are commands similar to a specific command, they are mentined in the "See also" line at the bottom of the documentation. So see:

doc text

and scroll to the bottom.

Thanks for your answer! I would try to check mein code again. When i have another question, i will ask you guys:))

Is there any way to combine text objects into one single object, so that it doesn't slow down zooming in/out?

@Alexander Kagermanov: It depends. Do the text objects have the same parent? What does "combine" mean? Do you use multiple text() commands to display several lines of text with a fixed vertical spacing?

Please open a new question and mention the details preferrably in a minimal working example.
