How do I right or left justify text in my plot?

The Handle Graphics property 'HorizontalAlignment' does not right justify the text in my title as I expected. I want my title to appear on the top right-hand side of my figure.

To justify text in your figure, you will need to change both the HorizontalAlignment and Position properties. These properties are described in more detail at the following URL:

The following code demonstrates one way that you could right justify your title.

plot(1:10)
t = title('hi')
set(t, 'horizontalAlignment', 'right')
set(t, 'units', 'normalized')
h1 = get(t, 'position')
set(t, 'position', [1 h1(2) h1(3)])
