If I am understanding you correctly, that you want the automatic figure numbering, then you can do this:

figure
fn = get(gcf,'Number');
set(gcf,'Name',sprintf('%d',fn),'NumberTitle','off')

You can embed that second line into the last one, if you want:

figure
set(gcf,'Name',sprintf('%d',get(gcf,'Number')),'NumberTitle','off')

You could also get clever and anticipate the current figure number from the prior figure (if there is one), and do it all in one line:

figure('Name',sprintf('%d',get(gcf,'Number')+1),'NumberTitle','off')

But that is getting a little hazardous in assuming a prior figure, the fact that none of the prior ones were deleted, etc. So, I would stick with one of the other versions.
