X-axis label on two rows
label, matlab, matlab-figure, plot
Solution
If you are okay with 90 degrees rotated text, you may try this code that is based on a very useful x-label rotating text tool, available `here`
Code
h=figure;
bar(randi(9,26,1),'EdgeColor','g') %// Assumed random data for demo
set(gca, 'XTickLabel',str, 'XTick',1:numel(str))
xticklabel_rotate([],90,str);%% File-exchange code %// xlabel text rotated
saveas(h, 'computing_time.png');
Sample plot with some random data
If you are okay with down-sampling the x-label text, i.e. for example show only every other label, use this right before creating the figure handle -
str(1:2:end)={[]}
Rest of the code stays the same. The output plot would look like this -
If you still want to keep the data horizontal, you need to downsample the number of labels by a good factor. In your given sample case, a factor of `4` worked. The changes in the code is adding the following code right after declaring `str` and of course commenting the x-label rotating tool usage -
str1 = cell(1,numel(str));
str1(1:4:end) = str(1:4:end);
str = str1;
The trick here is to use empty cells for the x-labels that you want to skip.

Problem
``` str = {'HS31'; 'HS31 (Ridotto)'; 'Dax85';'Dax85 (Ridotto)'; 'FTSE89';'FTSE89 (Ridotto)'; 'SP98';'SP98 (Ridotto)'; 'Nikkei22';'Nikkei225 (Ridotto)'; 'SP457';'SP457 (Ridotto)'; 'Russ1318';'Russ1318 (Ridotto)'; 'Russ2151';'Russ2151 (Ridotto)'; 'Eurostoxx';'Eurostoxx (Ridotto)'; 'Ftse';'HS31 (Ridotto)'; 'Mibtel';'Mibtel (Ridotto)'; 'SP';'SP (Ridotto)'; 'Nasdaq';'Nasdaq (Ridotto)'; }; h=figure; bar(t); set(gca, 'XTickLabel',str, 'XTick',1:numel(str)) saveas(h, 'Backtesting/computing_time.png'); ``` I can't read the text below the plot. Do you know how to fix it? Screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g43iegh4oeng3kf/computing_time.png
