Hi, I am trying to draw a graph with the following code:
figure
plot(x,dfdx4,'k-',x,dfdx5,'b-',x,dfdx6,'g-', x,fx4, 'r--','LineWidth',2);
axis([-1 1 -7 14])
xlabel('-1 <= x <= 1', 'FontSize',12,'fontweight','bold')
ylabel('dfdx4, dfdx5, dfdx6 & fx4', 'FontSize',12,'fontweight','bold')
title('Comparsion of Exact and Approximate derivatives with artifical' ...
'normally-distrubuted artifical noise')
My title is pretty long and I want to put it on a new line so it'll. I did a bit googling and it told me to do it like that but when I try to run it it gives me an error. Is there another way I'll be able to do this or am I doing it wrong?

What exactly is the problem?:
  1. you want to put the text string that defines the title onto two lines, or
  2. you want to display the title on two lines?

Another option is using sprintf and a linefeed (\n):
title(sprintf('Comparsion of Exact and Approximate derivatives with artifical\nnormally-distrubuted artifical noise'))

['12345', ...
'678`]
