why the text doesn't show on the plot?

Hi every one

I am using the text on plot with code:

str={'SyR=0.5'};
text(-4,4,str,'FontSize', 8);

the x limitation is ([-5 5]), and y limitation is ([0.2 7])

but the text doesn't show on the plot.

could you help me to solve this problem?

Thank you

Please share your script.

plot(-10:10, -10:10, '.-')
text(-4, 4, 'test', 'FontSize', 8)

Looks okay even with the xlim ylim given by the poster.

plot(-10:10, -10:10, '.-')
text(-4, 4, 'test', 'FontSize', 8)
xlim([-5  5])
ylim([0.2 7])

Missing text is known to be a problem on:

• some quite old releases (around R2011 time frame) when the renderer was set to opengl and the xlim had certain properties, especially if there was any transparency
• on some really old Intel graphics cards that were long discontinued, and which Intel has not put out drivers for in more than 7 years (Windows)
• on some Linux systems when hardware opengl driver was being used, depending on the exact libraries installed
• on some newer Intel and AMD graphics cards in which the user was using a vendor driver that was more than 2 years old (Windows)

I recommend first updating to the latest graphics driver for your hardware. If that does not solve the problem, experiment with using opengl software

hi

plot come first , text after , otherwise no display;

[Walter Roberson]

Good point, Mathieu: if hold is not on then plot() will remove the current plot. You can, though, text() then hold on then plot()
