How to change the position of a shared axis label in a TiledChartLayout?

Hi,

Given T is a handle to a TiledChartLayout, I tried:

T.XLabel.Position=[val val val val] 

but since there is no Position field for class 'matlab.graphics.layout.Text', it isn't working.

Thanks.

Can you please share a full code of your plot so that we can run and see what's happening and explain the position change you want to do?

figure
T=tiledlayout(2,2);
nexttile
plot(rand(5));
nexttile
plot(rand(5));
nexttile
plot(rand(5));
nexttile
plot(rand(5));

xlabel(T,'xlabel','Fontsize',30);

I want to be able to play with the xlabel position

For a tiled layout, changing the horizontal and vertical alignment properties of the text is possible. Refer to this link:

A workaround would be to plot using subplots and then change the position of the text using the ‘Position’ property. Have a look at the following example:

figure 
subplot(2,2,1) 
plot(1:10) 
subplot(2,2,2) 
plot(1:10) 
subplot(2,2,3) 
plot(1:10) 
subplot(2,2,4) 
plot(1:10) 
title('xlabel') 
set(get(gca,'title'),'Position',[-1.5 -3],'FontSize',20)
