Only the ylabel does not change to latex interpreter

I'm trying to make a plot on the title and both axes are written in the standard Latex font. My problem is however that only the y-label will stay in the standard Matlab font. Does anyone have an idea how to get this y-label in the Latex font just like the x-label and title?

I've also tried:

set(0,'defaulttextinterpreter','latex')

and

set(groot,'defaultAxesTickLabelInterpreter','latex')

without any succes.

The complete plotting code is:

figure(3)
hold on
set(gca,'TickLabelInterpreter','latex')
plot(s_to_ms*0.5*(1:length(avgmeantimeframes(1,:))),s_to_ms*mutopixel*avgmeantimeframes(1,:)/2000,'LineWidth',2.5)
title('Average velocity for different applied pressures','FontSize',12)
ax = gca; % current axes
ax.FontSize = 16;
xlim([0 33000])
ylim([1.6 2])
xlabel('Time [ms]');
ylabel('Average droplet velocity [µ/ms]');
yL = get(gca,'YLim');
line([4500 4500],yL,'Color','#EDB120','LineStyle','--');
line([9500 9500],yL,'Color','#EDB120','LineStyle','--');
line([14500 14500],yL,'Color','#EDB120','LineStyle','--');
line([19500 19500],yL,'Color','#EDB120','LineStyle','--');
line([24500 24500],yL,'Color','#EDB120','LineStyle','--');
line([29500 29500],yL,'Color','#EDB120','LineStyle','--');
text(1000,1.62,'1 Bar','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold')
text(5500,1.62,'2 Bar','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold')
text(10500,1.62,'2,5 Bar','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold')
text(15500,1.62,'3 Bar','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold')
text(20500,1.62,'3,5 Bar','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold')
text(25500,1.62,'4 Bar','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold')
text(30500,1.62,'1 Bar','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold')
set(gcf,'position',[600,300,1000,562.5])
hold off

With the following figure as result

The LaTeX interpreter doesn’t like the ‘µ’.

Try this:

ylabel('$Average droplet velocity [\mu/ms]$', 'Interpreter','latex');

I needed to add the $ and specify the interpreter because I can’t run the code (no data).

Thanks for the quick reply! The ylabel seems to change to the latex equation font due to the $$ additions:

When I take these away but keep the ", 'Interpreter','latex'" part the ylabel is again the same as my initial figure

[Star Strider]

The solution to that is to only enclose the ‘\mu’ in $.

Try this —

ylabel('Average droplet velocity [$\mu$/ms]', 'Interpreter','latex');

Tha appears to do what you want.

Thank you, this works!

As always, my pleasure!
