raise power to power in title

Hi~

I wanna write a title to a graph this way >> y = x * e^(- x^2 / 2 )

title(' y = x*e^(- x^2 / 2) ') writes e as base and only ( as exponent

title(' y = x*e^-^x^2^/^2 ') shows e^(-x2/2) not as e^(-x^2/2)

any idea how to solve this? :\

Try this (using LaTeX):

figure
plot(rand(50,1), rand(50,1), 'p')
axis([0 1    0 1])
title('$y = x \times e^{- \frac{x^2}{2}}$', 'Interpreter','latex', 'FontSize',16)

prodcing:

Write it the way I wrote it to use the LaTeX interpreter that MATLAB has. (I worte it entirely in MATLAB.)

If you want to write it in TeX instead (also suported by MATLAB):

title('y = x \times e^{- {x^2}/{2}}', 'FontSize',16)
