MATLAB create title over one column of subplot

Question

So I have a 3x3 array of subplots. I know how to get a title on each one of them, and I know how to get a "super title" using the suptitle function over the whole thing, but I can't figure out how to get titles to only show up over each column. I also want to do a similar thing with the rows. Think hip, knee, ankle across the top, then angular velocity, torque, and power down the left side. Thoughts?

Solution

You can use text to label the columns and rows.

subplot(2,2,1)
title('a')
h1 = text(-0.25, 0.5,'row 1');
set(h1, 'rotation', 90)
text(0.35,1.2,'column 1');

subplot(2,2,2)
title('b')
text(0.35,1.2,'column 2');
subplot(2,2,3)

title('c')
h = text(-0.25, 0.5, 'row 2');
set(h, 'rotation', 90)
subplot(2,2,4)
title('d')

The position of text will have to be adjusted based on the x and y range of your plots.
