MATLAB: Center text on screen

center

Very basic question, but how can I (exactly) center text on screen (or figure window)?

If I just use

text(.5,.5,'x'); axis off

the x is not centered on screen.

% put a small x in the center of a new figure
figure('menubar','none') ;
ah = gca ;
th = text(1,1,'X') ;
set(ah,'visible','off','xlim',[0 2],'ylim',[0 2],'Position',[0 0 1 1]) ;
set(th,'visible','on','HorizontalAlignment','center','VerticalAlignment','middle')

aH = axes;
plot(rand(10,1));
xCoord = get(aH,'Xtick');
yCoord = get(aH,'YLim');
yCoord(2) = [];
offset = 0.05; %How far from the axes, in axes units
yCoord = yCoord-offset;
set(aH,'XTickLabel',[]); %Comment out this line to see where the old ticks were
for ii = xCoord
    text(ii,yCoord,num2str(ii),...
        'HorizontalAlignment','center',...
        'VerticalAlignment','middle');
end
