parameter value in figure titke

parameter value in figure titke

parameter value in figure titke

(OP)
Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to 'print' a parameter value in the figure title.
At the moment I have the following statement:
Figure1=figure('Name',D. Jansen, M. bed sim xxxxx', ...
                'NumberTitle','off', ...
               'Position',[50 50 925 600] );
Instead of the xxxxx I would like to print the values of one or more parameter values (if possible with name).

Thanks in adavnce for any tips.
David

RE: parameter value in figure titke

Yes, you can use the int2str and num2str functions. If you require specific formatting then you can use the sprintf function, which is rather complex but (for scalar arguments at least) works in exactly the same way as the equivalent C function.

e.g.

CODE

param_value = pi;
mystr = ['D. Jansen, M. bed sim ' num2str(param_value)];

% or
% mystr = sprintf('D. Jansen, M. bed sim %.4d', param_value);

Figure1=figure('Name',mystr, ...
                'NumberTitle','off', ...
               'Position',[50 50 925 600] );
