MATLAB: Round bkgd text color instead of rectangle

round backgroundround text

Hi, I have looked through the text properties and I coundn't find anything about having a round background. So, would it be possible to have a round colored circle background, instead of rectangle?

I am well aware that I can create a circle and then the text over it but thats not what I am looking for.

Thank you

No, text() and uicontrol('style', 'text') are both restricted to rectangular boundaries.

MATLAB: About the font property

That is handled by the FontWeight property:

FontWeight
    {normal} | bold | light | demi
    Weight of text characters. MATLAB uses this property to select a font from those available on your particular system. Generally, setting this property to bold or demi causes MATLAB to use a bold font.

MATLAB: Draw rotated rectangle with rounded edge

I created a function to extend the capabilities of Matlab's rectangle() but with these additional features:

Position rectangles by their center points rather than by their lower left coordinate.
Supports creation of multiple rectangles with independent properties
Outputs handles to patch object rather than rectangle
Outputs rectangles parameters including vertices
Option to rotate rectangles about their centers

See the example file in rectangle2() on the file exchange.
