MATLAB: How to rotate the annotation text box

figureMATLABtext;

I want to rotate my annotation text box so I used both of this codes:

annotation(gcf,'textbox',...
    [0.365880952380952 0.219841269841271 0.17102380952381 0.0444444444444446],...
    'String','Gulf',...
    'FitBoxToText','off','BackgroundColor','none','EdgeColor','none',...
    'FontSize',8, 'color','w','FontName', 'cambria math','FontWeight','bold','TextRotation',45);

And:

h = annotation(gcf,'textbox',...
    [0.365880952380952 0.219841269841271 0.17102380952381 0.0444444444444446],...
    'String','Gulf',...
    'FitBoxToText','off','BackgroundColor','none','EdgeColor','none',...
    'FontSize',8, 'color','w','FontName', 'cambria math','FontWeight','bold');
set(h,'Rotation',45)

But both of this not working and causing errors. Did you know what is the problem here?

I read both of this questions (1 & 2) but they are didn't work too.

Thanks

You can use textarraw, with options to make the head and line invisible

a = annotation(gcf,'textarrow',...
    [0.365880952380952 0.365880952380952], [0.219841269841271 0.219841269841271],...
    'String','Gulf', 'HeadStyle', 'none', 'LineStyle', 'none',...
    'FontSize',8, 'color','k','FontName', ...
    'cambria math','FontWeight','bold', 'TextRotation',45);

MATLAB: How to rotate a textbox annotation in MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b)

The ability to rotate annotation textboxes is not available in MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b). It is possible to rotate the child text object of the annotation box but not the entire annotation box.

As a workaround, you can either use a text object or a textarrow annotation in place of the textbox annotation, as shown in the following examples:

plot(1:10)
h=annotation('textarrow',[0.5 0.5],[0.5 0.5],'string','textarrow annotation', ...
      'HeadStyle','none','LineStyle', 'none', 'TextRotation',90);
%%now change axes limits - note that the annotation maintains its position
set(gca,'Ylim',[0 6],'Xlim',[0 8]);

As an alternative, when creating a text object using the TEXT function, recalculate the position of the object when changing the axes limits:

figure
plot(1:10)
tx=6;
ty=5;
text(tx,ty,'text textbox','Rotation',90);
%second figure for comparison
figure
plot(1:10)
h=text(tx,ty,'text textbox','Rotation',90);
%change axes limits and reposition text object accordingly
xl=get(gca,'Xlim');
yl=get(gca,'Ylim');
newxl=[0 6];
newyl=[0 8];
scalex = diff(newxl)/diff(xl);
scaley = diff(newyl)/diff(yl);
pos = get(h, 'Position');
tx = pos(1);
ty = pos(2);
offsetx = tx-xl(1);
offsety = ty-yl(1);
set(gca,'Xlim',newxl,'Ylim',newyl);
set(h, 'Position', [newxl(1)+offsetx*scalex newyl(1)+offsety*scaley]);
