aligning text in plots

how do i move the point label so its aligned right and higher

x = Vb_ev;
y = pH_ev;
plot(x,y,'ro'), text(Vb_ev, pH_ev,'point X')

Answer 1

text(Vb_ev, pH_ev,'Point X', ...
     'HorizontalAlignment', 'right', ...
     'VerticalAlignment', 'bottom');

See the documentation for all properties: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/text_props.html. You need to set the "Color" property.

clear all;clc;close all;

x=1:10;y=1:10;

plot(x,y,'ro')

text([1:10]-1.5,[1:10]+1,'Point X')

axis([-1 12 -1 12])

It depends on your plotted data.

text(x,y,'your_text')

will draw your_text in the position (x,y) within your figure. To draw text in upper right corner of your plot,

x = max(x_variable);
y = max(y_variable);

But bear in mind to subtract something from those values in order to place the text within the plot, otherwise it'll be printed just in the top-right corner and you won't be able to see it. For example:

x = max(x_variable)-10;% adapt the subtracted value to your needs
y = max(y_variable)-10;

so for that edited above how do i applying these positioning commands
