That's simply bizarro if so... The default position of upper right physically drew the title above the bounding box in R12 but it was definitely attached to the legend handle 'cuz it moved w/ it when drug by moose... --

This works EXACTLY like i want it to. 1) plot your data 2) set a handle to your legend i.e. legend_handle1 = legend(...) 3) set(get(legend_handle1,'title'),'string','Text for Title',...) Beautiful.

That works in R12, as well, but axes(lh) title('Text for Title') does the identical in (imo) less-convoluted manner. You're saying this doesn't do that in later versions but still attaches the title to the main axis? That seems a bug if so. --
