Add text to loglog-plot?

Hi,

I'm trying to add text to a loglog-plot (a number above a plotted line, denoting a quantity), but I can't get the text-command to work. Is it at all possible or does it only work for non-loglog plots?

Best Regards Martin

Have you solved this issue. It is really bothersome.

It works for me.

x = 1 : 100;
y = rand(1,100);
loglog(x, y);
text(20,.5, 'hello')

The text does appear and does get placed at data coordinates (20,.5)

That means that something else must be the problem. Thank you =)

Remember, no negative coordinates for a loglog plot.

printing text is not the problem, position of the text is the problem. Due to log-log scale alliging the text several inches to the right of the data points is not as straight forward as text(xData+10, yData, 'text'). Namely the if the xData is close to >1 then the shift to right is large, but if the data is close to <10 then the shift to right is small i.e. the shift to the right in the figure is not consistent to human eyes.

Good point. However the original person was getting no text at all.
