SUMMARY

The discussion centers on how to format labels in MATLAB using LaTeX syntax within the xlabel function. Users shared multiple methods to achieve the desired output, specifically using the command xlabel(['$Q$', ' (mm \textsuperscript{3}/s)'],'Interpreter','latex') and alternatives like xlabel('$Q~\left( \mathrm{mm}^3/\mathrm{s} \right)$', 'Interpreter', 'latex'). The introduction of the Name=Value syntax in R2021a is also highlighted as a new feature for improved label formatting.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with MATLAB plotting functions

Hi PF!

I'm going insane here. How can I have the following in xlabel: ##Q \text{ (mm\sup 3/s)}##?

Answer is here:
Code: 
xlabel(['$Q$', ' (mm \textsuperscript{3}/s)'],'Interpreter','latex')
 
Nice, thanks for sharing.

Smetimes these kinds of display issues with text drive one insane. I once had to render some funky labels in Java and discovered that display text could in fact be a string of html tags to resize, colorize, fontify (a made up word to mean change the font to a more desireable one) the text. It really made my day too.

Or,
[CODE lang="matlab" title="Till R2020b"]xlabel('$Q~\left( \mathrm{mm}^3/\mathrm{s} \right)$', 'Interpreter', 'latex')[/CODE]
Or, using the new Name=Value syntax introduced in R2021a,
[CODE lang="matlab" title="R2021a and later"]xlabel('$Q~\left( \mathrm{mm}^3/\mathrm{s} \right)$', Interpreter='latex')[/CODE]
