MATLAB: how to include running time on a graph? I have a MATLAB/Octave program for which I used the `tic` and `toc` functions to measure the time elapsed for some calculations. e.g.: > tic(); > for k=1:200 > ... > ... > end > time=toc(); so now I have the value `time`. > how can I include this (anywhere and anyhow) automatically on a plot? as a legend? as a label? as a title?

You can do this with the `num2str`-function. To display time in the title use for example:

> title(['running time ' num2str(time) 's'])
