How do display whole digits of a number in exponent?

Hi,

I am using "text" command to display an expression in a plot. If C is a number like 1.96, when I use

text(x,y,sprintf( Q = A^%.2f',C))

it only shows the first character of C (I mean 1) in the exponent of A and the rest characters (.96) are not displayed in the exponent. How can I show all digits in the exponent?

Thanks, Asghar

text(x,y,sprintf('Q = A^{%.2f}',1.96))

Your question is related to the TEX typesetting functionality embedded in tetx(). By default, only the first character of a sequence is considered. You need to enclose the sequence of characters between { }.

Nice! Thanks a lot...
