How to include word-strings into a matlab picture as part of the image?

Hi there,

with the following script a grey figure with a dark grey cross is created. I want to replace the cross (symbol) with a letter string, to be varied regarding color and size. How can this be done with MATLAB?

Kind regards! Laura

clear all

rand = rand(300,400); % create random pic size "600,800"

pic = ones(size(rand)); % create white pic size as random

background = pic*0.5; % make it gray 0.5

T = figure(1); % Plot figure

imshow(background);

hold on

plot((size(pic,2))/2, (size(pic,1))/2, '+', 'MarkerEdgeColor',[0.4 0.4 0.4],... 'MarkerFaceColor',[.4 .4 .4],'MarkerSize',20 , 'LineWidth',5)

hold off

Have a look at text . it places text on a figure, and has various properties that you can specify.

Hey, thanks - it's easy like this. And how do you change color/style/size?

text((size(pic,2))/2, (size(pic,1))/2, 'tryin')
