The title of a figure

Hye, How could I give a title to a figure that depend on the input of the function that create the figure.

Answer 1

[Jan]

At creation:

figure('NumberTitle', 'off', 'Name', 'This is the figure title');

After creation:

FigH = figure;
...
set(FigH, 'NumberTitle', 'off', ...
    'Name', sprintf('Date: %s', datestr(now, 0)));

[EDITED]: 'NumerTitle' -> 'NumberTitle'

[Liber-T]

I made a test

figure('NumerTitle', 'off', 'Name', 'heyhey')

subplot(2,1,1)

plot(beta,s,'k')

...

and I received this:

??? Error using ==> figure

Invalid figure property: 'NumerTitle'.

Error in ==> wplasmainhr at 29

figure('NumerTitle', 'off', 'Name', 'heyhey')

I am sure Jan will catch this, but it is NumberTitle not NumerTitle. He will probaly start ranting about the preview latency.

*Ranting*?! I'm *crying*. Currently I have to wait for 2 seconds after each keystroke. Irch #+*7&

@Liber-T: There might be a misunderstanding: What exactly do you mean by "title"? The title on top of the plots inside the figure, or the title of the Window?

Thanks to both of you.

Title can take any string. You can use [] and num2str to make a meaningful string that depends on the input to your function

x = 1:3
title(['This figure used x = ', num2str(x)])

In some cases you might want to use sprintf instead of num2str to get a little better control of the formatting.

Thanks that help, but I still don't know how to give a title to a figure:

exemple:

figure

plot

plot

figure

plot

Here I can put a title on the plot but not on the figure.

[Daniel Shub]

Where do you want the title to show up? I think

figure

plot

plot

title

figure

plot

title

will work
