how to show the title in the imtool figure?

I want to add some describtion in the imtool figure.But the describtion can not show up when i use title function. figure, imtool(I,[]), title(' show some description.'); Is there some other functions to realize it?

Summer: I think these two code snippets should answer all your questions:

% First for a regular figure window.
s = uint8(randi(255, [512,512]));
hFig = figure
imshow(s,[]);
title('Title Test', 'FontSize', 15);
% Give a name to the title bar.
set(gcf, 'Name', 'Demo by ImageAnalyst', 'NumberTitle', 'Off') 

% Now for the imtool window.
hToolFig = imtool(s);
set(hToolFig, 'Name', 'This is S in the imtool window');
% Note: close all won't close imtool windows.
% imtool close all;  % Close all imtool figures if you have the Image Processing Toolbox.

According to the documentation of imtool, if you do

 hFigure = imtool(I,[]);

then hFigure is a handle to the figure created by the Image Viewer. If that is the case, then you might be able to manipulate the name of the figure as

 set(hFigure,'NumberTitle','off','Name','show some description');

Thanks for your answer.And i also want to know how to show the title use title function.Just like this.

if true
  % code
    figure,imshow(s,[]);
    title('title test');
end

Thanks again.

Summer - for title, you can pass the handle of the axes that you want the title to appear over. I don't have the Image Processing Toolbox, so I'm guessing that you could do something like the following

 hFig = figure;
 imshow(s);
 title(findobj('Parent',hFig,'Type','axes'),'title test');

So we use the findobj function to find the object whose parent is hFig and is of type axes. Here we assume that there is only one axes on the figure.

The above may be overkill, since you could probably just replace it with

 title(gca,'title test')

where gca gets the current axes handle. But you seem to be suggesting that that won't work (given your question and code). Note that there was no image in your comment.

Thanks for your prompt answer.I get more knowledge about "title" function through your answer. And i have added the picure already.I want to add the title which is positioned in the example image to the imtool figure. If i use imshow function to show the image,the title can be add very easily through the code"title('title test')".But if i use imtool function,the title can not to add in the figure like the title in the example image. Thanks again.
