text(0.5, 0.02, 'Title below the axes', ...
'VerticalAlignment', 'bottom', ...
'HorizontalAlignment', 'center');
Another method uses the position of the corresponding AXES:
AxesH = axes;
pos = get(AxesH, 'OuterPosition');
text(pos(1) + pos(3)/2, ...
pos(2) - 0.01, ... % Adjust this to your taste
'Title below the axes', ...
'VerticalAlignment', 'top', ...
'HorizontalAlignment', 'center');
Or you can move the standard title manually:
plot(1:10);
TitleH = title('This is the title');
set(TitleH, 'Position', [0.5, 0.02], ...
'VerticalAlignment', 'bottom', ...
'HorizontalAlignment', 'center')
Or the same using the AXES' OuterPosition again.

Hi Jan, I have the same issue. When I use text function on 5 plots, the position of the text isn't the same in them all... What could be the problem? And do you know If its possible to have the title on the left and right side?
Thanks...

when you create the title save its handle i.e.
plot ( x, y );
h = title ( 'my title' );
then insect the h propery position i.e.
pos = get ( h, 'position' )
you can then move your title by:
set ( h, 'position', new_position )
where new_position is the place you want your title to be. It is also worth looking at the Units property to see the different options you have to how to position your title
