Xticklabel to split into two lines

257 views (last 30 days)
Dear All,
hope you are doing well.
I'd very grateful if you cold help me in understanding how to split a label for a bar xtick into two lines.
As you can see from the attached plot, it happens that the string 'Steel/concrete composite' is too long, and I'd would have something like 'Steel/concrete' in the upper line, and 'composite' below, that is
Steel/concrete
composite
Thanks for your time and help in advance, and best!

As always, my pleasure!
I attempted to do something similar myself, then found this link and MathWorks’ solution, and just went with it.

Maybe this will work:
set(gca(),'XTickLabel',{'Concrete' 'Masonry' 'Steel' sprintf('Steel/concrete\\newlinecomposite')});
