I want to write latex in Matlab's GUI labels. For example:
I have tried \theta, and with $ on both sides, but it does not work. Could someone please tell me how to solve this question? Thanks.

In 2020b it doesn't exist from the design view options but the property does exist and is editable from the code.

From the startup function of your app, set the Edit Field Label's interpreter property to latex. You may need to reassign the string too.
function startupFcn(app)
app.thetaPoint1EditFieldLabel.Interpreter = 'latex';
app.thetaPoint1EditFieldLabel.Text = '$\theta$ of point';
end
Result:

App designer gets more support and features with every new release since it became available. I don't know when the interpreter property was first supported for this object but I do know it works in r2020b and the result is shown in my answer. You could update to r2020b. Otherwise, there is no solution I'm aware of.
