Xlabel & Ylabel just in 1 line

Hi,

My goal is to label Xaxis and Yaxis in just one line rather in two, that is what i get.

my xlabel and ylabel are combined from two sides:

m = 5
Variable = sprintfc('Variable%d',1:m)
Variance = [10 20 30 30 10]'

when i do a plot, it plots normally what I need with my X and Y but in the xlabel part i get a 2 line label:

xlabel( Variable(1) Variance(1));

How can i turn it in only 1 line? I tried with ; in the middle doesnt work, with {} also doesnt work

xlabel( sprintf('%s%d', Variable{1}, Variance(1)) );

Though perhaps you would prefer a space between the %s and %d.

Thanks

1) the %s is relative to place the Variable and %d is responsible to place the value of variance?

2) MY example was unfortunate in the variance, if the Variance = [10.57 20 30 30 10]', when i do what you wrote, the value appears 1.057e+01, any way to print the "normal" value 10.57?

3) why if I wanted 3 things to be printed, what letter to choose?

[Walter Roberson]

%s is replaced by a character scalar or character row vector. %d is replaced by converting a numeric value into a printable decimal form.

For three values, add more %s or %d or %f or %g depending on what it was. For example,

xlabel( sprintf('%s @ %d vs %s @ %d', Variable{1}, Variance(1), Variable{2}, Variance(2)) );

ok thanks

I updated this question when you replied to the previous one

I recommend using %g instead of %d for those cases.

xlabel( sprintf('%s %g', Variable{1}, Variance(1)) );

[Tiago Dias]

yeah %g, i tried %0.5g as in the example on the sprintf page

Thanks a lot!
