Matlab add text to the outside of figure

Question

How do I add a text to the right of the figure? I want to resize the plot to leave some empty space on the right and add some information there. Thanks!!

Accepted Answer

If you want to put that text inside of a legend you can do:

```
legend('Some quick information','location','EastOutside')
```

That is easiest. For more control though, you can put a text box inside the figure window:

```
MyBox = uicontrol('style','text')
set(MyBox,'String','Here is a lot more information')
```

and move it around with:

```
set(MyBox,'Position',[xpos,ypos,xsize,ysize])
```
