Title position below the x axis

How can I change the position of a title from top of the figure to the below of x axis using code(automatically) on a subplot?

To change the position of the title, you can modify the Position property of the Title in the axes. You can modify the Position property of the Title object to get the desired results. Although, I would recommend first setting the Units property to normalized. In that way you can give Position values relative to the axes.

The Position argument requires 3 inputs, namely, the x,y and z coordinates. In normalized units, 0,0,0 is the left-bottom corner and 1,1,1 is the right-top corner of the axes. You can provide negative value to the y-coordinate in order to push the title below the axes.

plot([1 2 3], [1 2 3]); % Random plot
t = title('Random Plot', 'Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.5, -0.1, 0]); % Set Title with correct Position

Although, the example I have given is with the plot, the same applies to subplots as well.

Thank you for your reply. It was very nice and simple way.

Here are two options that may work for you:

%alter vertical position of title
   figure;hold on
   subplot(2,1,1)
   t=title('Title1')
   xlabel('xlabel')
   set(t,'position',get(t,'position')-[0 1.4 0])
%add title as part of the xlabel
   subplot(2,1,2)
   xlabel(['xlabel',newline,'\bf Title2'])

This previous question gives some similar options ( link )

Thank you very much for your reply. Both methods work well.
