function s = num2str(x, f)
%NUM2STR Convert numbers to a string.
%   T = NUM2STR(X) converts the matrix X into a string representation T
%   with about 4 digits and an exponent if required.  This is useful for
%   labeling plots with the TITLE, XLABEL, YLABEL, and TEXT commands.
%
%   T = NUM2STR(X,N) converts the matrix X into a string representation
%   with a maximum N digits of precision.  The default number of digits is
%   based on the magnitude of the elements of X.
%
%   T = NUM2STR(X,FORMAT) uses the format string FORMAT (see SPRINTF for
%   details).
%
%   If the input array is integer-valued, num2str returns the exact string
%   representation of that integer. The term integer-valued includes large
%   floating-point numbers that lose precision due to limitations of the 
%   hardware.
%
%   Example:
%       num2str(randn(2,2),3) produces the string matrix
%
%       '-0.433    0.125'
%       ' -1.67    0.288'
%
%   See also INT2STR, SPRINTF, FPRINTF, MAT2STR.
