To display the & character in a label, use two & characters in the string.
The words
remove, default,andfactory (case sensitive) are reserved.
To use one of these as a label, prepend a backslash (
\) to the string. For
example,
\remove yields remove.
The check box accommodates only a single line of text. If you specify a
component width that is too small to accommodate the specified
String,
MATLAB software truncates the string with an ellipsis.
