figtitle creates a title centered at the top of a figure. This may be used to add a title to a figure with several subplots.
Syntax:
figtitle('TitleString')
figtitle('TitleString','TextProperty','TextValue')
h = figtitle(...)
Description:
figtitle('TitleString') centers a title at the top of a figure and sets the figure name to 'TitleString'.
figtitle('TitleString','TextProperty',TextValue) formats the title with property name value pairs (e.g., 'FontSize',20)
h = figtitle(...) returns a handle h of the newly-created title.
Examples:
figtitle('My Title')
figtitle('My Title','fontweight','bold')
figtitle('My Title,'fontsize',18,'fontangle','oblique')
h = figtitle('My Title');
set(h,'edgecolor','magenta');
In many cases a figure title may overlap a subplot title. To reduce ambiguity, try pairing this function with the ntitle function, which is available on the Mathworks File Exchange here: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/42114-ntitle. The image for this FEX upload was created using the figtitle and ntitle example given in figtitle.m.
