Writing text in fraction in Mask in Simulink

Hey there folks,

I'm trying to write q/delta_e, but then in as a fraction and with greek symbol, obviously. I want to do this in the Mask editor in Simulink. My take on it was this:

text(0.35,0.5,'$\frac{q}{\delta_e}$','interpreter','latex','EdgeColor','k');

However, it says "latex is an invalid entry for 'text' drawing command parameter 'interpreter' in block ..."

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Daam

Click "Help" in the Mask Editor to see the supported function for icon drawing. Search document for "Greek Letters and Special Characters in Chart Text"

text(0.35,0.5,['q/',char(916)])

Thank you for your response!

However that indeed leads me to q/delta, but I'm looking for \frac{q}{\delta}, so that the fraction sign is a horizontal bar with q on top and delta below, instead of just a forward slash.

Do you know how to get that?

AFAIK, that can't be done. text() supports 'latex' in MATLAB graph (axes), but not in Simulink mask. You could attach an image though.

Or do three lines of text()

Ah alright, good to know, I think I'll just accept the block without the mask :) Thank you for your answers!
