Error using text command in normalized form

I wanted to write something on the MATLAB plot by using text command. I am getting an error while using the axis in the normalized form.

text('units','normalized',.4,.8,'mytext','Color','r')

I have tried not only this command, but also have tried with all possibilities (may except one possibility, which is right ) I am getting an error

Error using text
Too many non-property/value arguments.

[Walter Roberson]

text('units', 'normalized', 'Position', [.4,.8,0], 'String', 'mytext', 'Color', 'r')

or

 text(.4, .8, 'mytext', 'units', 'normalized', 'Color', 'r')

That is, the positional parameters need to be first.
