Syntax
xlabel([axes_handle], label, [property_name, property_value,...]) ylabel([axes_handle], label, [property_name, property_value,...]) zlabel([axes_handle], label, [property_name, property_value,...])
Arguments
- label
a string, containing the label value.
- axes_handle
an optional handle, to specify the axes for which the label is set.
- [property_name, property_value,...]

The available properties for x-y-zlabel are:
"visible"
:"on"
or"off"
"fontsize", "font_size"
: size of font (constant)"fontname", "font_style"
: ten font names are available (case unsensitive string or related id number): "courrier" | 0, "symbol" | 1, "times" | 2, "times italic" | 3, "times bold" | 4, "times bold italic" | 5, "helvetica" | 6, "helvetica italic" | 7, "helvetica bold" | 8, "helvetica bold italic" | 9."rotation", "font_angle"
: angle in degrees (constant)"position"
: position of label (2d vector)"color", "font_foreground"
: the color of font (a string value chosen among["red","green","blue","cyan","magenta","yellow","black","white"]
, or a RGB matrix value)"edgecolor", "foreground"
: the color of line around the text (a string value chosen among["red","green","blue","cyan","magenta","yellow","black","white"]

: the color of background around the text (a string value chosen among["red","green","blue","cyan","magenta","yellow","black","white"]
, or a RGB matrix value)
Description
xlabel, ylabel, zlabel are used to label the x-, y-, and z-axis, respectively.
Each label appears beneath its respective axis in a two-dimensional plot and to the side or beneath the axis in a three-dimensional plot.
Examples
t = linspace(-2*%pi, 2*%pi, 30); subplot(2,1,1); plot(t, sin(t), "r"); xlabel("t", "fontsize", 2); ylabel("sin(t)"); axes_handle = gca(); subplot(2,1,2); plot(t, cos(t), "b"); xlabel("t", "fontsize", 2); ylabel("cos(t)", "fontsize", 6, "color", "blue"); ylabel(axes_handle, "sin(t)", "fontsize", 6, "color", "red");
