Using Latex in GUI (subscript)

[Roberto]

Good afternoon,

I have created a GUI in Matlab. I created some static text, and I inserted their names in the field 'String', in 'Property inspector'.

But I would like to use subscripts in their names, and I have heard something about using Latex, but I don't know how to enable and how to use it.

For example, if I want to write in 'String', the sampling frequency:
String: fs (but writing s like a subscript), how I can to do that??

Thank you very much.

You can't do this directly in a UICONTROL like a static text box; you can do
it in a TEXT object on a graph, though, by using the _ and ^ characters, as
described in the documentation.

Thank you,
but then, I cannot either write pi or other symbols in a GUI? Because I need use Latex too.

I cannot create a graph to write a text with it, because I only need text and values.

Here is another solution, that support [almost] the complete HTML set, including superscripts, subscripts and special symbols like pi:
