How to put a dot over a character in matlab plot? 1

[nodalDOF]

Is it possible to put a dot over a character in Matlab plot using any interpreter(Tex/LaTeX) that matlab provides?
I know subscipt/superscript notation but just faced this problem of dot.

You need to change the text interpreter setting to LaTex. Right click on the text box, select Properties, then change the interpreter from the default Tex to LaTex. Use math mode, e.g., $\dot{a}$, to get the results you want.

xnuke, Thank you for reply. I tried this but my LaTex interpreter didn't work. I am not sure whether is am doing it right. I have a plot with volume flow rate labeled as(Qdot) on Y-axis. So as per your reply i have edited the lable as $\dot{Q}$ and in the property editon i changed the interpretor to LaTex. I see nothing on the lable, and also i got error suing something like "unabel to interpret...". Am is doing something wrong?

I am having a similar problem with the dot issue. My latex interpreter is on accoding to the figure GUI, but I can't get the dot. I can get subscripts and Greek letters though. What was wrong with your installation? Maybe I have the same problem.

Check that the interpreter is set to LaTex for each of the plot titles. BTW are you using it to title some axes?

 

[michelgarcia]

The interpreter is set to LaTex in the figure GUI,
edit>axes properties> edit properties for: axes> title>edit..>latex interpreter is checked.

Here is a clue in command mode

this works:
ylabel( title_string, 'interpreter', 'tex');

this doesn't work:
ylabel( title_string, 'interpreter', 'latex')


I am using it to title axes.

Thanks
