h = title(...)

returns the handle to the text object used as the title.

Display today's date in the current Axes:

title(date)

Include a variable's value in a title:

f = 70;
c = (f--32)/1.8;
title(['Temperature is ',num2str(c),'C'])

Include a variable's value in a title and set the color of the title to yellow:

n = 3
title(['Case number #',int2str(n)],'Color','y')
