Use text command

I think the best way is this

[x,y]=ginput   % click on the location you want+ Return
text(x,y,'yourtext')

Hi, thank you for your advice :) Is there a way to make matlab automatically choose a proper position for the text? because doing it by hand appears to be a bit tough

edit:

You could get the x and y limits from your plot and then calculate a position for the text from that...

Or you could put it in the title!? Or the legend!?

many options
