Histogram xlabel, ylabel, and title.

I am trying to add simple labels (xlabel, ylable, title) to a histogram with the following code. The histogram appears, but labels do not.

Any help would be appreciated.

Code:

xlabel = ('Length');

ylabel = ('Count');

title = ('Histogram of salmon lengths');

histogram(salmon_length,edges,'DisplayStyle','stairs');

Paul, the order that you are calling the functions is incorrect. You need to create the histogram plot prior to assigning labels and a title. Also, you are using the xlabel, ylabel, and title functions with the wrong syntax. What you are using is basically creating a variable with the same name as the xlabel, ylabel, and title functions. See example below.

histogram(salmon_length,edges,'DisplayStyle','stairs');
% Now that a graphics object (histogram plot axes) exists, the following functions will target the
% active axes.
xlabel('Length')
ylabel('Count')
title('Histogram of salmon lengths')
