PlotLabel

PlotLabel
is an option for graphics functions that specifies an overall label for a plot.
  • Any expression can be used as a label. It will be given by default in TraditionalForm. Arbitrary strings of text can be given as "text".  »

Basic Examples   (3)
Use any Mathematica notation for labels:
Use Style and other typesetting functions to modify how the label appears:
Overall style of all the label-like elements can be specified by LabelStyle:
Use any Mathematica notation for labels:
In[1]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[1]=
In[2]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[2]=

Labels use TraditionalForm by default:
Use StandardForm instead:
An individually styled label can be used with LabelStyle, and has higher priority:
