Here's a letter a. just like you'd see when multiple panels in a published figure are labeled with letters:

ntitle('a','location','nw')

Example 3:

Place large, bold red text in the bottom right corner:

ntitle('this text is big, bold, and red!',...
   'location','se',...
   'color','r',...
   'fontweight','bold',...
   'fontsize',20)
