Add a Label or a Title to a Colorbar in MATLAB

Question

I've tried using the xlabel, ylabel and title functions to do this but all they do is to increase the widths of my colorbars. The text that I want to appear as the label/title doesn't appear at all. Can you please tell me how I can solve this problem?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can add an annotation such as

annotation('textbox',[x y w h])

that will display a text over axes, meaning that it will not change the aspect ratio of the colorbar.
