Question
This is a little hard to explain. I am not looking for the angle of the line with respect to the cartesian coordinates, I am looking for the angle with respect to the plot window itself. For context, I am trying to use this angle to produce some text that has the same angle as the line For Example: plot([0:10], [0:10]) text( 0, 0, "----------------------some text", Rotation = 45) p = subplot(1,1,1); disp(p.Position(3:4)) disp(p.Position(3:4)) 0.7750 0.8150 See how the text angle doesn't match the line angle, and the plot itself is not a square i- I'd imagine some calculations are in order, and it would need the size of the window as an input. ii- I also thought that ths cannot be that complex, surely there's a way to write text on the plot at an angle relative to the plot's coordiates, right? If anyone has someinsight on (i) or (ii), that would be highly appriociated!

Try the PlotBoxAspectRatio property.
plot([0:10], [0:10]) ar = get(gca, "PlotBoxAspectRatio")
ar = 1×3
1.0000 0.7897 0.7897
r = atand(ar(2)/ar(1)) % This will give you the angle of the diagonal of the axes in degrees
r = 38.2985
text( 0, 0, "----------------------some text", Rotation = r)
Then compare it to the slope of the line you are plotting.
