i am using "contour" for plotting matrix data and i have the need to label a single curve in the plot with text value instead of numerical value. Is it possible to do that with clabel?

Note the following informatin in the documentation for clabel:

text_handles = clabel(...) returns the handles of text objects created by
clabel. The UserData properties of the text objects contain the contour
values displayed. If you call clabel without the h argument, text_handles
also contains the handles of line objects used to create the '+' symbols.

For example, suppose this is your contour graph:
[x,y] = meshgrid(-2:.2:2);z = x.^exp(-x.^2-y.^2);[C,h] = contour(x,y,z);
ht = clabel(C,h);

Find the contour interval you want to replace with text (assume you want to
replace level 0 with 'Sea-Level') and set the String property of the
appropriate text object with that character string:

for k=1:length(ht)
if get(ht(k),'UserData') == 0
set(ht(k),'String','Sea-Level')
end
end
