How to draw a northarrow on a simple plot, and not on a map?

Hi, how can I draw a northarrow on a simple plot, and not on a map?

I would need a northarrow where I can set the traditional plot position as follows (at least the x and y coordinates)

northarrow('position',[x0 y0 width height]);

and not with the default latitude and longitude values

northarrow('latitude', lat, 'longitude', lon);

The northarrow function works on map axes. You may want to read the annotation documentation to draw an arrow on a simple plot. Refer this link to find a solution to a similar question. To change the appearance and behaviour of the arrow created using annotation, refer this link.

Thanks Alan for your kind reply,

I would then suggest to adapt -if possible - the northarrow to simple plots with such a simple syntax:

northarrow('position',[x0 y0 width height]);

Many thanks,
