MATLAB - use a string to set the title of a graph

Question

I'm writing a MATLAB program that reads in a title from the user to set on a graph...

t = input('Please enter a title for the graph: ', 's');

I then want to set the title of my plot to t. I can't seem to get it to work...

title(t)    %# returns ??? Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

Many thanks for the help!

Make sure in your session you have no variable called title masking the title() function

  Name       Size     Bytes  Class     Attributes

  t          1x1          2  char                
  title      1x1          8  double              <<<<---- you dont want this!
