Carriage return in description wave for a category plot?

Share icon

Hi,

I have a category plot where the labels are somewhat long and I would like to break them up between two lines. Is there any way to do this? Adding \r in the string wave only shows a symbol, rather than moving some of the text down. Thanks,

Alex
I realized this is easy to fake using legends, but I'm still curious if there's a way to do this. -A

Hmmm... I did this:
•make/n=5/t twave="row "+num2str(p)
•twave[1]="A sort of long\rcategory lable"
•edit twave
•make/n=5 nwave=gnoise(1)
•display nwave vs twave

and the result is attached. Note the second, two-line category label (misspelled) on two lines. That results from the "\r" in the label.
