I want to include a variable in my figure title when I save to a directory.

This works:

saveas(figure(1),[pwd '/PRCC plots for submission 2/Final E monoton 2029.fig']);

I want to put this variable into the figure title:

TIMEend=2029;

Is this possible?

Thanks

TIMEend = 2029;
fnm = sprintf('Final E monoton %u.fig',TIMEend);
fpt = fullfile('.','PRCC plots for submission 2',fnm);
saveas(figure(1),fpt);

Hi Sandra,

Yes this is possiable, you can either use strcat() to 'build' the title string first or just use title(), it'll look something like this;

plot(); %whatever you are plotting 
hold on; 
title('TIMEend =',TIMEend); % Create a string for the title and include the variable value
saveas(figure(1),[pwd '/PRCC plots for submission 2/Final E monoton 2029.fig']) % continue to save...

Let me know if this is what you are looking for,

Christopher
