Thread Subject:

suptitle new line

Hi all,
I am trying to put a title on a series of subplots by using the suptitle command. The title is rather long and I need to put it on multiple lines because MATLAB will just continue it on one line and you will not be able to see the whole thing.

Any ideas??

Also, it apparently doesnt like underscores. How do I create an underscore?

Thanks for any help you can give!!!

For the underscore, try this: title('test\_');

Sorry, you had two questions, also multiple lines:

Title({'First line';'Second line'})

I haven't used SUPTITLE before, but assuming it accepts the same type of
input that the TITLE function does:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/title.html

then give it a cell array of strings or a string into which you've inserted
a newline using SPRINTF.

Read the last section of the documentation for the text object String
property I posted above, the section titled "Specifying Subscript and
Superscript Characters".

For others searching this, to automatize the "_" to "\_" replacement
(e.g. if you have automatic title creation for subplots), and as suptitle doesn't support the same options as title (so you can't add: ...'interpreter','none')
You can use:
suptitle(strrep('title','_','\_'))

Thanks so much! Exactly I was looking for!
Had same questions (2 lines and underline).
