I have the legend shown below:
On the left, the text is aligned, however, on the right the numbers are not aligned. How can I align the numbers too?
The tab command (\t) does not seem to work when providing strings to table entries. However, you can solve the problem if you work in the latex environment, define every entry as a single-row tabular and define the first column to have a specific width (e.g. 1 cm):
plot(eye(2)); % example plot
h=legend('\begin{tabular}{p{1cm}r}first:&1\end{tabular}',...
'\begin{tabular}{p{1cm}r}second:&2\end{tabular}'); % table entries in latex
set(h,'interpreter','latex'); % set interpreter

I need help to skip lines in the legend of boxplots : I have a plot with two boxplots, and each of them has a legend to long to fit on a single line.
I tried this, X being my matrix of data (two colums) :
boxplot(X,'Labels',{'1stpartofthelegend\newline2ndpartofthelegend','1stpartofthelegend\newline2ndpartofthelegend})
This solution works in other types of plots, like a plotspread plot so I don't understand why it is not working here ?
I found this question, but the solutions are not working for me, maybe because I have a more recent version (R2018b).
I actually want to add my boxplots over a plotpsread plot, but when I do that the legends of the boxplots win over the legends of the plotspread (even if I add boxplots without legends, the previous legends of the plotspread are replaced by "1" and "2"). So preventing the boxplot to erase the previous legend would be a nice solution but as I failed to do that I tried to find another way.
Thank you for your help
You want to set the 'Labels' of the boxplot for multiple lines. So use a cell of cells:
Lbl = { {'1st entry (1st line)','2nd entry (1st line)'},...
{'1st entry (2nd line)','2nd entry (2nd line)'} };
boxplot(rand(100,2),'Labels',Lbl)
EDIT
LaTeX commands work in the title and labels but apparently there is no interpreter or TickLabelInterpreter property for boxplot-Labels:
Error using internal.stats.parseArgs (line 42)
Invalid parameter name: TickLabelInterpreter.
I have 2 lines as measure values and I would like each line having their own % information but I cannot do that as a Text. Any workaround to get it to work?

You should try a dual-axis with your two line measures and put the bars as reference lines. See this as an example. You can't independently control the Text on "Measure Values" because it is treated as a single measure.
I'm trying to use a legend(which is common for more than 2 columns)
such that
a. tick mark means 3
b. exclamation mark means 2
c. Bold circle means 1
See the screenshot for 2 columns displayed in the attachment.
However i need a common legend for these columns
I tried to go to analysis tab and then click on legends, but this will show legend for only 1 column at a time and i need 1 legend for more than 2 columns.
In general, if the customization and formatting options for the built-in legends and filter controls don't do as you wish, the next approach is to build a worksheet that shows and acts as you desire. Then use that worksheet on your dashboard to serve a replacement for the built-in legends.
In your case, one approach is to make a simple text data source with one row for each item you want to appear in your new custom "legend". Then build the legend worksheet of your dreams :-)
I want to display overlapping boxplots using Sigmaplot 12. When I choose the scale for the x-axis as linear then the boxes do indeed overlap but are much too thin. See figure below. Of course they should be much wider.
When I choose the scale of the x-axis to be "category", then the boxes have the right width, but are arranged along each single x-value.
I want the position as in figure 1 and the width as in figure 2. I tried to resize the box in figure 1 but when I choose 100% in "bar width" than it still looks like Figure 1.
many thanks!
okay, I found the answer myself. In Sigmaplot, there is often the need to prepare "style"-columns, for example if you want to color your barcharts, you need a column that holds the specific color names.
For my boxplot example I needed a column that has the values for "width". These had to be quite large (2000) in order to have an effect. Why ? I have no idea. First I thought it would be because of the latitude values and that the program interprets the point as "1.000"s, but when I changed to values without decimals, it didn´t get better.
Well, here is the result in color.
Have fun !
Below is the user interface I have created to simulate LDPC coding and decoding
The code sequence is decoded iteratively by passing values between the left and right nodes through the connections.
The first thing it would be good to add in order to improve visualization is to add arrows to the connections in the direction of passing values. The alternative is to draw a bigger arrow at the top of the connection showing the direction.
Another thing I would like to do is displaying the current mathematical operation below the connection (in this example c * H'). What I don't know how to do is displaying special characters and mathematical symbols and other kinds of text such as subscript and superscript in the figure (for example sum sign and subscript "T" instead of sign ="'" to indicate transposed matrix).
I would be very thankful if anyone could point to any useful resources for the questions above or show the solution.
Thank you.
To add arrows, you can either use the built-in QUIVER, or, for more options, ARROW from the file exchange. Both of these have to be plotted into axes, so if you want a big arrow on the top, you have to create an additional set of axes above the main axes.
As far as I know, you cannot use TeX or LaTeX symbols in text uicontrols. However, you can use them in axes labels. Thus, I suggest that you add an XLabel to the axes, for example
xlabel('\sigma c*H_T')
or (note the $-signs required for LaTeX)
xlabel('$\sum c*H_T$','interpreter','latex')
EDIT
I hadn't mentioned the use of text (as suggested by #gnovice and #YYC) because I thought it wasn't possible to place text outside of the axes. It turns out that I was wrong. text(0.5,-0.2,'\Sigma etc.') should work fine as well. I guess the only advantage of using 'xlabel' would be that you can easily add and position the axes label during GUI creation.
In regards to the 1st question, annotation (http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/annotation.html) might be an alternative solution.
In regards to the 2nd question, try text property in Matlab Help.
Search "Character Sequence" for the special characters; search "Specifying Subscript and Superscript Characters" for the subscript and superscript.
For drawing the arrow, I would go Jonas' suggestion arrow.m by Erik Johnson on the MathWorks File Exchange. It's the easiest way I've found to create arrows in figures.
For creating text with symbols, you can use the function TEXT. It lets you place text at a given point in an axes, and you can use the 'tex' (default) or 'latex' options for the 'Interpreter' property to get access to different symbols. For example, this places the text you want at the point (0,0) using 'latex' as the interpreter:
hText = text(0,0,'$\sum c*H_T$','Interpreter','latex');
The variable hText is a handle to the text object created, which you can then use with the SET command to change the properties of the object (string, position, etc.).
