If you do not want to include that your code script (as advised by others above), then simply you may do the following after generating the figure window:

Go to "Edit" in the figure window
Go to "Figure Properties"
At the bottom, you can type the name you want in "Figure Name" field. You can uncheck "Show Figure Number".

That's all.

Good luck.

First you must create an empty figure with the following command   figure  name   Title of the window here      By doing this  the newly created figure becomes you active figure  Immediately after calling a plot   command  it will print your plotting onto this figure  So your window will have a title   This is the code you must use     figure  name   Title of the window here     hold on  x    0  0 2  0 4  0 6  0 8  1  1 2  1 4  1 6  1 8  2  2 2  2 4  2 6  2 8  3  3 2  3 4  3 6  3 8  4  4 2  4 4  4 6  4 8  5  5 2  5 4  5 6  5 8  6  6 2  6 4  6 6  6 8  7  7 2  7 4  7 6  7 8  8  8 2  8 4  8 6  8 8  9  9 2  9 4  9 6  9 8  10  10 2  10 4  10 6  10 8  11  11 2  11 4  11 6  11 8  12  12 2  12 4  12 6  12 8  13  13 2  13 4  13 6  13 8  14  14 2  14 4  14 6  14 8  15  15 2  15 4  15 6  15 8  16  16 2  16 4  16 6  16 8  17  17 2  17 4  17 6  17 8  18  18 2  18 4  18 6  18 8   y    0  0 198669  0 389418  0 564642  0 717356  0 841471  0 932039  0 98545  0 999574  0 973848  0 909297  0 808496  0 675463  0 515501  0 334988  0 14112  -0 0583741  -0 255541  -0 44252  -0 611858  -0 756802  -0 871576  -0 951602  -0 993691  -0 996165  -0 958924  -0 883455  -0 772764  -0 631267  -0 464602  -0 279415  -0 0830894  0 116549  0 311541  0 494113  0 656987  0 793668  0 898708  0 96792  0 998543  0 989358  0 940731  0 854599  0 734397  0 584917  0 412118  0 22289  0 0247754  -0 174327  -0 366479  -0 544021  -0 699875  -0 827826  -0 922775  -0 980936  -0 99999  -0 979178  -0 919329  -0 822829  -0 693525  -0 536573  -0 358229  -0 165604  0 033623  0 23151  0 420167  0 592074  0 740376  0 859162  0 943696  0 990607  0 998027  0 965658  0 894791  0 788252  0 650288  0 486399  0 303118  0 107754  -0 0919069  -0 287903  -0 472422  -0 638107  -0 778352  -0 887567  -0 961397  -0 9969  -0 992659  -0 948844  -0 867202  -0 750987  -0 604833  -0 434566  -0 246974  -0 0495356   plot x  y   --b     x    0  0 2  0 4  0 6  0 8  1  1 2  1 4  1 6  1 8  2  2 2  2 4  2 6  2 8  3  3 2  3 4  3 6  3 8  4  4 2  4 4  4 6  4 8  5  5 2  5 4  5 6  5 8  6  6 2  6 4  6 6  6 8  7  7 2  7 4  7 6  7 8  8  8 2  8 4  8 6  8 8  9  9 2  9 4  9 6  9 8  10  10 2  10 4  10 6  10 8  11  11 2  11 4  11 6  11 8  12  12 2  12 4  12 6  12 8  13  13 2  13 4  13 6  13 8  14  14 2  14 4  14 6  14 8  15  15 2  15 4  15 6  15 8  16  16 2  16 4  16 6  16 8  17  17 2  17 4  17 6  17 8  18  18 2  18 4  18 6  18 8   y    -1  -0 980133  -0 921324  -0 825918  -0 697718  -0 541836  -0 364485  -0 172736  0 0257666  0 223109  0 411423  0 583203  0 731599  0 850695  0 935744  0 983355  0 991629  0 960238  0 890432  0 784994  0 648128  0 48529  0 302972  0 108443  -0 0905427  -0 286052  -0 470289  -0 635911  -0 776314  -0 885901  -0 960303  -0 996554  -0 993208  -0 950399  -0 869833  -0 754723  -0 609658  -0 44042  -0 253757  -0 057111  0 141679  0 334688  0 514221  0 673121  0 805052  0 904756  0 968256  0 993023  0 978068  0 923987  0 832937  0 708548  0 555778  0 380717  0 190346  -0 00774649  -0 205663  -0 395514  -0 56973  -0 721365  -0 844375  -0 933855  -0 986238  -0 999436  -0 972923  -0 907755  -0 806531  -0 673287  -0 513333  -0 333047  -0 139617  0 0592467  0 255615  0 44166  0 609964  0 753818  0 867487  0 946439  0 987526  0 989111  0 95113  0 875097  0 764044  0 622398  0 455806  0 27091  0 0750802  -0 123876  -0 318026  -0 499631  -0 66145  -0 797032  -0 900972  -0 969126  -0 998776   plot x  y   -r     hold off  title  My plot title    xlabel  My x-axis title    ylabel  My y-axis title

It can also be done this way   figure xx   set gcf   name    Name goes here     gcf gets the current figure handle

You need to set figure properties    At the very beginning of the script  call  figure  name   something else     Calling figure is a good thing  anyway  because without it  you always plot into the same window  and sometimes you may want to compare two windows side-by-side   Alternatively  you can store the figure s handle by calling  figH   figure    so that you can later change the figure properties to your liking  the  numberTitle  property setting eliminates the  figure X  text   set figH  Name   something else   NumberTitle   off     Have a look at the figure properties in the MATLAB documentation to see what else you can change if you want
