How to change the date form in the figure from default to yyyy-MM-dd

Hello guys,

Do you know how to change the form fo the date achieved from plotting. I think the problem might be the my system language is Chinese, so how to change it into the form of yyyy-MM-dd or dd/mm/yyyy without changing my system language?

Many Thanks

Keyu

I don't know about the Chinese system language, so I would probably suggest getting the date in whatever format you want using datestr(now) and then add this to your plot using text or annotation.

You can use text with normalized figure units, so its pretty easy to get it to appear in the same place for every figure.
