I have been using suptitle in older versions of matlab.
This seems to have disappeared from 2016a - am I missing something or has it gone?

Solved - found in another toolbox. It was included as part of a demo in the Bioinformatics Toolbox.
The below is from the doc file for it for future reference...
suptitle puts a title above all subplots.
suptitle('text') adds text to the top of the figure
above all subplots (a "super title"). Use this function
after all subplot commands.
suptitle is a helper function for yeastdemo.

If you are using release R2018b or later, I recommend using the sgtitle function instead of suptitle.
subplot(2, 2, 1);
plot(1:10);
subplot(2, 2, 4);
surf(peaks);
sgtitle('$\hat{a} + \frac{b}{c}$', 'Interpreter', 'LaTeX')

There is no a function named suptitle in Matlab. Maybe you need to use subplot command

I'm not sure you can use the Latex interpreter, but one feature this (practically undocumented function) supports is multiple lines when given a cell array of strings. I find the main downside of suptitle, apart from being non-standard, is the excessive amount of space it allocates for itself on a figure, shrinking the subplots below it.
