How would you efficiently build a cell array of strings which contain numbers (in my particular case, a cell array of labels for a legend). Eg:{'series 1', 'series 2', 'series 3'} I've tried things along the lines of sprintf('series %i', {1:10}) but apparently sprintf and cell arrays don't play nice together. Something like this ...
