Populating graph titles for multiple figures

11 views (last 30 days)
Is there a way to populate the title in individual figures within a script? For example:
x = data_of_interest;
% Axial Load
figure(1)
plot((x(:,1)),(x(:,22:23)))
grid on
title('Rod ## Axial Load') % Put in the rod number plotting
xlabel('Serial Date')
ylabel('Rod Load [kips]')
% Average Displacement
figure(2)
plot((x(:,1)),(x(:,32)))
grid on
title('Rod ## Axial Displacement') % Put in the rod number plotting
xlabel('Serial Date')
ylabel('Average Displacement [in]')
....
I will have 11 individual figures per set of data. Within each dataset 'Rod ##' will be the same in each title (e.g., Rod 1, Rod 2, Rod 3, etc). I would like to find a way to set up something at the beginning of the script to populate this portion of the title so that I only have to change this item and the dataset being used. Is this possible?
Thank you.

for n = 1:ll
figure(n)
% insert calculations and figure plotting here.
title(['Rod ',num2str(n),' Axial Displacement'])
end

Or if you want subplots,
x = data_of_interest;
for n = 1:ll
figure(n)
% Axial Load
subplot(2,1,1)
plot((x(:,1)),(x(:,22:23)))
grid on
title(['Rod ',num2str(n),' Axial Load']) % Put in the rod number plotting
xlabel('Serial Date')
ylabel('Rod Load [kips]')
% Average Displacement
subplot(2,1,2)
plot((x(:,1)),(x(:,32)))
grid on
title(['Rod ',num2str(n),' Axial Displacement']) % Put in the rod number plotting
xlabel('Serial Date')
ylabel('Average Displacement [in]')
end
