For loops and figure window title

I have several figures. I want the title of the window figure to say the basename of the file belonging to the figure. The figures are in a loop. So the code for looping the figures without overwriting one another is:

figure(i)

but how can I change this title to my basename?

 figure('Name',basename{k},'NumberTitle','off')

Should I put this in the loop or outside of the loop? I also get the following error: Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.

inside the loop, 'k' is my iterator. I assumed you'd store different title names or the filenames in a cell array, which in my example is called basename. To be more explicit,

 basename = {'data1','data2'};
 %something here
 for k = 1:numel(basename)
    figure('Name',basename{k},'NumberTitle','off')
    %plot here
 end

for i=1:length(myfiles) 
  filename = fullfile(mydir1, myfiles(i).name); 
  [~, basename, ext] = fileparts(filename);

based on this script, the basename is obtained. How should I enter your script in here?

You're extracting the file name inside the for loop already so you could ignore the iterator 'k', so it would be just,

 figure('Name',basename,'NumberTitle','off')

Yes, I tried this as well but unfortunately 2 out of the 3 figures get plotted correctly (each figure has 4 subplots), but 1 out of the 3 opens a whole new figure without a basename title with one subplot.. I do not know how to fix this..

It's hard to guess why without knowing more details. Try to set a breakpoint and run it step by step maybe.
