graph lable

Is there a way to insert a symbol into an axis lable? I want the y-axis to be labelled p(cap) (p^ but the ^ should sit above the p). I can write this in Word using the equation editor, but is there any way to lable my graph with this? Thanks for your help.

Simply use the ^ symbol in your label, and this will happen automatically. For example:

ylabel('Acceleration [m/sec^2]')

Thanks. I'm not sure that actually does what I want though. I need the letter p with a ^ sitting above the letter...
