LaTeX in MATLAB®

How to add LaTeX to MATLAB® plots with Plotly.


Basic example

fib = zeros(1, 12);
for i = 1:12
    fib(i) = (((1+sqrt(5))/2)^i - ((1-sqrt(5))/2)^i)/sqrt(5);
end

figure
plot(1:12, fib, 'k^-')


title('Fibonacci Numbers from 1-12')
xlabel('n')
ylabel('F_n')

eqtext = '$$F_n={1 \over \sqrt{5}}';
eqtext = [eqtext '\left[\left({1+\sqrt{5}\over 2}\right)^n -'];
eqtext = [eqtext '\left({1-\sqrt{5}\over 2}\right)^n\right]$$'];

text(0.5, 125, eqtext, 'Interpreter', 'Latex', 'FontSize', 12, 'Color', 'k')
