Greek letters and symbols in stacked plots

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a stacked plot with the stackedplot() function.

I have the X vector of values and four series of Y values as columns of a matrix. Is it possible to insert tex symbols in y axes labels?

I tried the following lines, but, can't introduce special characters.

X = linspace(0,1,1000);
Y = rand(length(X),4);

txt3 = '\Delta E_{m=3}';
txt4 = '\Delta E_{m=4}';
txt6 = '\Delta E_{m=6}';
txt8 = '\Delta E_{m=8}';
newYlabels = {txt3, txt4, txt6, txt8};
newXlabel = 't [s]';

sss = stackedplot(X,Y,'DisplayLabels',newYlabels,'xlabel',newXlabel);
grid on

Thanks to anyone who wants to help me!

There is no documented way to control that. The stackedplot call returns a Stackedplot object which contains a property that allows you to control some of the y-axis properties, but only 4 things can officially be changed.

I am not at my desk so I cannot currently investigate what hidden properties are available.

If you take

sssax = sss.NodeChildren(end/2+1:end);

then the result is a column vector of the axes that were created to display the objects.

You can then

for K = sssax.'; K.YLabel.Interpreter = 'tex'; end

and the label will change.

Hi,

I tried this and it works in normal script but does not work in livescript.

Appreciate any help

Thanks.

That's a good question. When I experiment in Livescript, I find that changes I make to the axes after the stack plot do not seem to matter -- I can outright clear the axes and it doesn't change what is already displayed.

Thanks for lookin into this.

Thats interesting. Seems like a bug.
