How to add a description text on top of a plot without it being written all of my plot ?
here is my code just run it to understand what I mean.
is it possible to translate the plot to the bottom?
FigH = figure;
plot(1:10)
AxesH = axes('Parent', FigH, ...
'Units', 'normalized', ...
'Position', [0, 0, 1, 1], ...
'Visible', 'off', ...
'XLim', [0, 1], ...
'YLim', [0, 1], ...
'NextPlot', 'add');
chr = 'I wanna add a description';
chr = [chr newline 'On top of the plot']
TextH = text(0,1, chr , ...
'HorizontalAlignment', 'left', ...
'VerticalAlignment', 'top');

Why not just reduce the height of your first axes a little? See the comments below (I also made some additional improvements).
FigH = figure();
axh = axes(FigH);
axh.Position(4) = axh.Position(4) * .9; % <--- reduce height by 10%
plot(axh, 1:10)
AxesH = axes('Parent', FigH, ...
'Units', 'normalized', ...
'Position', [0, 0, 1, 1], ...
'Visible', 'off', ...
'XLim', [0, 1], ...
'YLim', [0, 1], ...
'NextPlot', 'add');
chr = sprintf('I wanna add a description\nOn top of the plot');
TextH = text(AxesH, 0,1, chr , ...
'HorizontalAlignment', 'left', ...
'VerticalAlignment', 'top');

There's no way to create space out of nothing; the space has to come from somewhere. You could make the text one line, you could decrease the font size of the text; but there's no way I can imagine that creates space for your text without changing the axis size.
