matlab中arg inf sup f,在matlab中使用suptitle覆盖（'visible'，'off'）图形属性(Using suptitle overrides ('visible', ...

I am producing a large number of graphs in matlab R2011b. I would like to make use of the ('visible', 'off') figure property so that I don't need to display each plot on the screen---each plot contains a lot of data and several subplots so rendering them takes up time and unnecessary processing power (I save them directly to an image).

Each plot contains four subplots and I would like to add a super "title" to each figure. I have been using suptitle (part of the bioinfo toolbox) but it appears that using suptitle undoes the effect of ('visible, 'off') and the figure is displayed anyway.

xdata = -100:1:100;

ydata = -100:1:100;

zdata = rand(1,201)*-50;

fig1 = figure(1)

set(fig1, 'visible', 'off')

subplot(2,1,1)

scatter(xdata, ydata, 10, zdata)

title('Small title 1')

subplot(2,1,2)

scatter(xdata, ydata, 10, zdata)

title('small title 2')

suptitle('This is a big title')

Using this code, the graph is displayed. If the suptitle line is commented out then the figure is not displayed (which is what I want).

Does anyone know

Why this happens?

How I can fix it /work around it? Is there another way of adding a large title to a figure with subplots?

Thanks.
