How to access the title of a matlab fig file

154 views (last 30 days)
I've opened a fig file. Let's call it
fig_1=openfig('sample.fig')
Now fig_1 is a figure object.
Where the title string of the relative plot is stored and how to get it? Thanks

plot(1:10);
title('abc');
h1=get(gca,'title');
titre=get(h1,'string')
With newest version of Matlab
plot(1:10);title('abc');
h1=gca,
titre=h1.Title.String

Thanks Azzi. It works. however is there a way to extract the title string directly from the fig object rather than loading the fig file into a plot and then extracting the string from that? In other words is the title string accessible directly from the fig object? Thanks

If you mean the figure title as you say then:
fig_1.Name
post R2014b or
get( fig_1, 'Name' )
before R2014b
gives you what is shown in the figure's title bar. If you really mean a plot title then refer to Azzi Abdelmalek's answer, but you should be careful to be more specific in your question if that is the case.
