In MATLAB R2016a, "fprintf" does not support displaying text with subscripts directly because it outputs plain text, and subscripts are a feature of formatted text (like LaTeX or rich text). However, there are workarounds to display subscripts depending on the output medium:
- If you need to display subscripts in a figure, you can use text or annotation with TeX or LaTeX formatting, which supports subscripts:
figure;
text(0.1, 0.5, 'Maximum value of N is N_{max} = 2', 'Interpreter', 'tex');
- To write subscripts using Unicode characters in MATLAB or any plain text context, you can refer the following link and use Unicode subscript characters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_superscripts
fprintf('y\x2098')
I hope this helps!
