The xline function by default goes to the limits if the y-axis. The label only has limited options for positioning.
It will likely be easier to create a single vertical line and attach a text object to it:
x = 1:0.1:10;
y = sin(2*pi*x/5);
figure
plot(x, y)
[xl,xt] = xlin(7,'Message', 0.1, 0.8, 0.25);
grid
function [hl,ht] = xlin(x,txt,ylo,yhi,ytxt)
% Documentation:
% x = x-Position
% txt = Text String
% ylo = Low y-Value (Start)
% yhi = High y-Value (End)
% ytxt = Text Starting Position
hold on
hl = plot([x x],[ylo yhi],'DisplayName',txt, 'LineWidth',1);
ht = text(x,ytxt, txt, 'Horiz','left', 'Vert','top', 'Rotation',90);
hold off
end
Returning the ‘hl’ and ‘ht’ handles permits easily changing certain attributes of the line and text objects without changing the function.
