MATLAB: How to use suptitle in the subplot

plottingsubplotsuptitle

Hi guys
I'm doing I subplot, where I want to make one "Super title". When I use the function suptitle the subplots gets weird! I have attached both plots with and without suptitle function, so you can see the difference…
 for j=1:length(SR)
figure 
    for i=[1:4 6:9] %Creating row x collums for subplot
        for c=1:8 %Number of headings
subplot(3,3,i)
plot(omega,Sp_we(:,c,j))
        end
suptitle ('Wave spectrum for')
    end 
end

I usually build the array of subplots by myself in these cases, because I find that SUBPLOT is a bit too rigid. This essentially means placing axes within a figure, on a grid of equally spaced coordinates of axes lower left corners ((0,0) being the coordinates of the lower left corner if the figure and (1,1) the upper right corner). Here is an example.
 % - Define dummy data: 11 time series.
 t       = 0 : 0.1 : 10 ;
 data    = 2 * repmat( sin(t).', 1,11 ) + rand( length(t), 11 ) ;
 nSeries = size( data, 2 ) ;
 % - Build figure.
 figure() ;  clf ;
 set( gcf, 'Color', 'White', 'Unit', 'Normalized', ...
    'Position', [0.1,0.1,0.6,0.6] ) ;
 % - Compute #rows/cols, dimensions, and positions of lower-left corners.
 nCol = 4 ;  nRow = ceil( nSeries / nCol ) ;
 rowH = 0.58 / nRow ;  colW = 0.7 / nCol ;
 colX = 0.06 + linspace( 0, 0.96, nCol+1 ) ;  colX = colX(1:end-1) ;
 rowY = 0.1 + linspace( 0.9, 0, nRow+1 ) ;  rowY = rowY(2:end) ;
 % - Build subplots axes and plot data.
 for dId = 1 : nSeries
    rowId = ceil( dId / nCol ) ;
    colId = dId - (rowId - 1) * nCol ;
    axes( 'Position', [colX(colId), rowY(rowId), colW, rowH] ) ;
    plot( t, data(:,dId), 'b' ) ;
    grid on ;
    xlabel( '\theta(t) [rad]' ) ;  ylabel( 'Anomaly [m]' ) ;
    title( sprintf( 'Time series %d', dId )) ;    
 end
 % - Build title axes and title.
 axes( 'Position', [0, 0.95, 1, 0.05] ) ;
 set( gca, 'Color', 'None', 'XColor', 'White', 'YColor', 'White' ) ;
 text( 0.5, 0, 'My Nice Title', 'FontSize', 14', 'FontWeight', 'Bold', ...
      'HorizontalAlignment', 'Center', 'VerticalAlignment', 'Bottom' ) ;
