Yeah I hadn't thought of this, actually very useful!
Here's what I did I wrote a tiny function stostr:

function var = stostr(var, loc, string)
var(loc,1:max(size(toascii(string)))) = toascii(string);

Now, in an m-file you can to things like..

states = 0;
k=1;
states = stostr(states,k++,"Beta, Side Silp Angle (Degrees)");
states = stostr(states,k++,"r, Yaw Rate (Degrees/sec)");
states = stostr(states,k++,"p, Roll Rate (Degrees/sec)");
states = stostr(states,k++,"Phi, Roll Angle (Degrees)");
states = stostr(states,k++,"Psi, Yaw Angle (Degrees)");
states = stostr(states,k++,"w, Wind Angle (Degrees)");

--------------------------
then later:

for k = 1:6       % States
  ylabel(setstr(states(k,:)))
  plot(t,x(:,k))
end
----------------------

        thought others might find this useful...

        Thanks for the idea!
