title that spans subplots

Hi, I am a newbie. How can I add a title so that it spans across two graphs plotted with subplot? (I can add titles to individual plots and even add a title to a figure window but neither of these is what I want). Thanks

An annotation is good to use here. It is a little easier than the text command because the position is relative to the figure -- not one of the axes. Here's an example:

subplot(1,2,1), plot(1:10)
subplot(1,2,2), plot(1:10)
annotation('textbox', [0 0.9 1 0.1], ...
    'String', 'hello, title', ...
    'EdgeColor', 'none', ...
    'HorizontalAlignment', 'center')

If this is just a one-off thing, you can also add an annotation interactively. That is described here in the documentation.

How about with super title!

doc suptitle

where do you find suptitle?

Oh. I thought it was standard.

It's in the Bio toolbox as part of a yeast infection demo.

A super title is entirely logical, but didn't work on my version. :(

If you're using release R2018b or later, use sgtitle.

One way to do this is with the text() command:

>> subplot(1,2,1), plot(1:10)
>> subplot(1,2,2), plot(1:10)
>> text(-10,10.2,'Test title spanning two subplots -- Some fine tuning will be required')
>>

In this case, the text positioning is relatively to the second axes.
