How do I place a two-lined title, x-label, y-label, or z-label on my plot?

I would like to create a multi-lined title, x-label, y-label or z-label. I would like to know if there are any functions in MATLAB that allow me to create a title that uses multiple lines.

You can create multi-line text using a cell array. For example, this code creates a title and an axis label with two lines.

plot(1:10)
title({'First line';'Second line'})
xlabel({'First line';'Second line'})

For more information about creating multiline text, see

Replace spaces with "\newline".

labels = {'line1 line2','line1 line2','line1 line2'};
labels = cellfun(@(x) strrep(x,' ','\newline'), labels,'UniformOutput',false);
a = gca;
a.XTickLabel = labels;
