Hi,

No, there is no way to do what you want. As you noticed there is no
"interpreter" property (Matlab doesn't have this either) and the text is
thus displayed as is. Depending on the complexity of your GUI layout, you
may be able to fake text-style uicontrol using proper "text" objects,
something like:

# Replace
uicontrol ("parent", p, "style",'text', "string", [char([206 178]) "
Q_v[m^3/s]"], "position", [x0 y0 dx dy]); 

# With
hax = axes ("visible", "off", "position", [0 0 1 1]);
text ("parent", hax, "units", "pixels", "position", [x0 y0 0], ...
       "interpreter", "tex", "string", "\\beta Q_v[m^3/s]", ...
       "backgroundcolor", "w")

Pantxo
