MATLAB: How to customize the text of the figure window title in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)

Question

I would like to create a new figure, and set the figure window's title to a custom title. When I use the TITLE command, a title is placed inside the window over the axes which gets hidden by my image.

Answer 1

You can add your own title to a figure window's title bar by setting the Name property to the desired title and you can turn off the figure number by setting the NumberTitle property to 'off' as follows:

figure('Name','Simulation Plot Window','NumberTitle','off')

This is mentioned in the MATLAB documentation at:
