How do I hyphen a word using LaTex?

I am trying to add the word "multi-disciplinary" in the X-axis of a figure, but I use the \hyphenation command without success.

I hope anyone could help me

Regards. Rafael

as far as I am aware, there is no automatic hyphenation in the labels, if you want to break the label, use e.g.

xlabel({'multi-','disciplinary'},'Interpreter','latex')

Answer 2

It appears to work as written —

figure
xlabel("multi-disciplinary", 'Interpreter','latex')

Do you want a different result?
