Syntax

zlabel(txt)

Labels the z-axis of the current axes with txt.

zlabel(txt, Name, Value)

Also sets text properties such as 'FontSize'.

t = zlabel(___)

Returns the text object of the label.

Description

zlabel is the z counterpart of xlabel and ylabel. The label belongs to the axes, so it survives later plot calls on the same axes unless the axes are reset.

Input arguments

txt: Character vector, string or cell array of lines.

Output arguments

t: Handle of the label text object.

Example

Label a surface

surf(peaks(10))
h = zlabel('Height', 'FontSize', 14);
disp(h.String)

Output

Height
