I have a two-line title that I want in latex where the second line is much longer than the first line.  I want to center my first line OVER THE SECOND LINE, not just center my two-line title over the graph.

I've tried title('first line','second line','Interpreter','latex','HorizontalAlignment','center'), but this centers my two-line title over the graph.

I've tried S=char('first line','second line') and then T = strjust(S, 'center') and then title(T,'Interpreter','latex') and this does the same thing as the previous attempt.

I've tried title('\begin{center} first line \\ second line \end{center}','Interpreter','latex') to no avail.

Help would be greatly appreciated because my OCD tendencies will keep me up all night until I figure it out, regardless how trivial it may be.

Ashley,

Try this:

title({'\makebox[4in][c]{text}','\makebox[4in][c]{longer text}'},...
    'Interpreter','latex')

The trick is to make the box wide enough for the longer text and then 
make the other one the same length.
