how to implement [as titleStr ] for Display

Share icon

I have been trying to figure out how to properly title (rename) my plots, which I produce by using 'display.'

So far, I have been just doing "Display/N=$"name of the plot"wave2 vs wave1" to get it going but when I looked at documentation (Help for Display), I found "[as titleStr ]," which appeared to be another way to give a name to the plot I am creating.

 

I wasn't able to implement [as titleStr ] though and I would appreciate it if someone could write a line that shows how to use [as titleStr ]. 

 

Be careful- a window name is not the same as the window title. Here is an example that (assuming there are no graphs yet) makes a graph whose *name* is Graph0, but has "This is a title" displayed in the title bar of the graph window:

make junk=x
display junk as "This is a title"

The title, that is, the part after "as" is a string expression. The window name, that is, the part after /N, is a name, which is why you need the $ operator. There are restrictions on what characters you can use in a window name.
