saving .fig files doesn't save position properties?

Hi, I have been trying to save a .fig file so that it can be edited in the Matlab Figure Editor and then saved. However, I find that when I save a .fig file, any position properties are not saved. Am I doing something wrong? For example, if I run the following code:

x = 1:10;
y = 1:10;
plot(x, y);
t = title('Title');
set(t, 'position', [0 0 10]);
savefig('figure1.fig');

the title's position is not saved, although if I set other properties (fontsize, etc) those are saved. Any thoughts? Thanks!

You are not doing anything wrong. It may be just that the software assumes that all figure titles are displayed in the top centre. From the documentation, see title, the default behaviour is

title(str) adds the title consisting of a string, str, at the top and in the center of the current axes. Each axes graphics object has one predefined title.

The documentation doesn't discuss moving the title around, though since this is allowed, the new title position should be saved to the figure file when calling savefig. This could very well be a bug.

No i don't think you should save file in wrong format. .fig files sometimes not save once try some more time or some problem in path where you save other document and figure files.

I have tried many times--I believe this is a feature of MATLAB but I am not sure if it is a bug or deliberate, or what the best workaround is.

Hi Karen,

That certainly looks obscure to me. Contact tech-support and let them know about it.
