## XLABEL Plot X-axis Label Function

Section: Handle-Based Graphics

### Usage

This command adds a label to the x-axis of the plot. The general syntax for its use is

      xlabel('label')

or in the alternate form

      xlabel 'label'

or simply

      xlabel label

Here `label` is a string variable. You can also specify properties for that label using the syntax

      xlabel('label',properties...)

### Example

Here is an example of a simple plot with a label on the `x`-axis.

    --> x = linspace(-1,1);
    --> y = cos(2*pi*x);
    --> plot(x,y,'r-');
    --> xlabel('time');

which results in the following plot.
