Take the 2-minute tour ×  When we plot a bode/nichols locus, the
name of workspace variable is used   will use 'tmp' as label.
enter image description here When using more complex data,
matlab is using 'untitled1','untitled2',...  tmp={ss(1,1,1,0) ,
ss(1.2,1,1,0)};  enter image description here How can I change
this label programmatically? Ideally, I'd like a solution
working with Matlab 6.5.1, but I'm also interested in solutions
restricted to newer versions.  share|improve this question Have
you tried the "Name" property of the function ss?

25 '13 at 15:04 @Mikhail thanks, that's the first thing I
thought of, but it did not work in version 6.5.1 (I have legacy
code that I don't wish to port). Maybe I'll just have to plot
the nichols in a recent version... –  aka.nice Feb 25 '13 at

programmatically via their graphics handles. It looks like the
values you want to change are the DisplayName pr
