suplabel

this is one that i downloaded from matlab central file exchange: suplabel, places one x or y axis label on a bunch of subplots. Because sometimes redundancy is bad.

I changed the default supAxes to [.12 .12 .85 .85 ] so they wouldn't be chopped off. Download it to your path and off you go.

Places text as a title, xlabel, or ylabel on a group of subplots. Returns a handle to the label and a handle to the axis.

[ax,h]=suplabel(text,whichLabel,supAxes)

returns handles to both the axis and the label.

ax=suplabel(text,whichLabel,supAxes)

returns a handle to the axis only. suplabel(text) with one input argument assumes whichLabel='x'

whichLabel is any of 'x', 'y', or 't', specifying whether the text is to be the xlable, ylabel, or title respectively.

supAxes is an optional argument specifying the Position of the "super" axes surrounding the subplots. supAxes defaults to [.075 .075 .85 .85] specify supAxes if labels get chopped or overlay subplots

EXAMPLE:
subplot(2,2,1);ylabel('ylabel1');title('title1')
subplot(2,2,2);ylabel('ylabel2');title('title2')
subplot(2,2,3);ylabel('ylabel3');xlabel('xlabel3')
subplot(2,2,4);ylabel('ylabel4');xlabel('xlabel4')
[ax,h1]=suplabel('super X label', 'x');
[ax,h2]=suplabel('super Y label','y');
[ax,h3]=suplabel('super Title' ,'t');
set(h3,'FontSize',30)

the image doesn't match the example code. so kill me.
