I am making a figure containing many pictures. I did that by using the subplot function.
I would like to add a title for the whole pictures. How could I do that?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Use sgtitle() function to create a title for a figure containing subplots.
The following code creates 4 subplots with its respective titles and a title for the whole figure.
subplot(2,2,1)
title('First Subplot') % Titles for the respective subplots
subplot(2,2,2)
title('Second Subplot')
subplot(2,2,3)
title('Third Subplot')
subplot(2,2,4)
title('Fourth Subplot')
sgtitle('Subplot Grid Title') % The title for the whole figure
For more information regarding sgtitle function refer to the following link:
Hope this helps in solving your problem.

You can use suptitle() function if you have bioinformatics toolbox.
suptitle('your title here')
If you dont have bioinformatics toolbox, try the following way:
Create a new axes which takes up much of the figure. Then a title for this axes. Turning the axes Visible property 'off' will make the axes "disappear", but the title will inherit this property and you will need to turn the Visible property for the title back 'on'. The below code does that.
subplot(2,2,1)
title('First Subplot') % Titles for the respective subplots
subplot(2,2,2)
title('Second Subplot')
subplot(2,2,3)
title('Third Subplot')
subplot(2,2,4)
title('Fourth Subplot')
% Title for the entire figure
a = axes;
t1 = title('Global Title for the figure');
a.Visible = 'off'; % set(a,'Visible','off');
t1.Visible = 'on'; % set(t1,'Visible','on');
Hope this helps
