Hi,

see here.

Hello. I expose my question. I have tried to insert Greek letters in a static text following the procedure at the link:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/100392-how-can-i-write-greek-letters-in-a-static-text-box-in-guide-in-matlab-7-1-r14sp3

I put in the Property Inspector in the entry "Tag" latex_text5 and under "String" \ alpha. However, in the command window I get the following warning:

Warning: Unable to interpret LaTeX string "\ alpha" > In openfig at 135 In gui_mainfcn> local_openfig at 286 In gui_mainfcn at 234 In GUI_prova2 at 42

What should I do to see the Greek letter alpha in the static text?

I tried it now. Writing "\ alpha" instead of "\alpha" appears only in the static text the word "alpha" but not the Greek letter alpha.

did you also set a invivisble axes to the background and did you apply the text command? also did you remove the static text box afterwards?

[Jacopo]

no. I copied the full piece of code in the link, specifically:

handles.laxis = axes ('Parent', hObject, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0 0 1 1], 'visible', 'off');

lbls = findobj (hObject, '-regexp', 'tag', 'latex_ *');

for i = 1: length (lbls)        l = lbls (i);        % Get current text, position and tag        set (l, 'units', 'normalized');        s = get (l, 'string');        p = get (l, 'position');        t = get (l, 'tag');        % Remove the Uicontrol        delete (l);        % Replace it with a TEXT object        handles. (t) = text (p (1), p (2), s, 'interpreter', 'latex'); end

If I have to write something different, you can write exactly what I have to write in code?

I think you missed the last sentence

"Further in GUIDE give the Static Text boxes which need to be rendered using LaTeX, a 'Tag' which starts with latex_."
