mtit: a pedestrian major title creator

MTIT creates a major title in a figure with many axes

Description

MTIT
- creates a major title above all axes in a figure
- preserves the stack order of the axes

several options allow to fine-tune the position of the title and typical text property/value pairs may be used as additional input to further adjust its looks

see
> help mtit
for usage and a brief example for this small utility

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.0 (R12)

nice one, just what i was looking for

[Heesun Kiem]

This is one I have been looking. It is very useful. Thanks.

[Mark Gregor]

Great work, good to have it.

[Dave Watts]

Nice but to be really good the rest of the plot needs to be moved to create space for the title

I got a problem with it... makes the rotation of 3D surf impossible....

this happens by design:
after MTIT terminates, the current (active) axis (GCA) is the handle of the invisible surrounding axis created by MTIT...
i've changed this behavior and an update should show up soon...
in the meantime, you can use this (tedious) approach
% create your figure/axes
     cah=gca; % <- save current axis handle
     mtit(gcf,'foo');
     axes(cah); % <- reset current axis handle

Does the job nicely, thanks.

[Pawel S]

Very easy to handle. It did exaclty what I wanted. Thx!

[David]

A simple, handy function - thank you!

However, I had trouble with the 'xoff', 'yoff', etc. options. When specifying just one of these, the title moved horizontally no matter which of these offsets was entered. I exchanged lines 154 and 155 in the code:

    io=io+1;
if any(ix)

and now the offsets work individually or together.

works very well

[Heinri Brink]

Ok, but this does not work for a two line title. I want to add a title with two lines as in title({Line1,Line2});
