Help with tex interpreter on Matlab

[Rik]

9/16/16

Could someone try the following in Matlab?

ht = text (0.5, 0.5, '|\bf     ABC|');
set (ht, 'interpreter', 'tex')

What I'm wondering is whether the whitespace is significant when using tex commands.  Does this produce

1) |    ABC|

or

2) |ABC|
