MATLAB: Title that spans subplots

subplot

Hi, I am a newbie. How can I add a title so that it spans across two graphs plotted with subplot? (I can add titles to individual plots and even add a title to a figure window but neither of these is what I want). Thanks

An annotation is good to use here. It is a little easier than the text command because the position is relative to the figure -- not one of the axes. Here's an example:
subplot(1,2,1), plot(1:10)
subplot(1,2,2), plot(1:10)
annotation('textbox', [0 0.9 1 0.1], ...
    'String', 'hello, title', ...
    'EdgeColor', 'none', ...
    'HorizontalAlignment', 'center')
If this is just a one-off thing, you can also add an annotation interactively. That is described here in the documentation.
