Hello,
I wanted display a plot of all multiple lines into gray colors. In addition i wanted to display title of a plot (ABC) inside the box.
For the sample code shown below, and figure attached.
Best
p=rand(12,5);
figure (2)
plot(p)
title('ABC')

Here's one way to do this:
p=rand(12,5);
figure (2)
plot(p, 'color', [.5 .5 .5], 'linewidth', 1.5); % gray lines
% put text label inside axes
ax = gca;
x = mean(ax.XLim); % middle
y = ax.YLim(1) + diff(ax.YLim) * 0.93; % near top
text(x,y,'ABC', 'horizontalalignment', 'center', 'fontsize', 12, 'fontweight', 'bold');

I made them the same color only because I thought that's what the poster wanted. Sometimes knowing the source of the individual lines isn't that important. For example, if you are showing the performance patterns for participants in a user study, you might not care which line corresponds to which participant -- only the overall patterns of performance are important.

OK. Makes sense. I once did something where a person plotted hundreds of curves and wanted to make a "heat map" of the curves, like where it was red in the dense part where lots of them overlapped, and went down to blue where the curves thinned out and became less overlapping. In that case he didn't care what color the curves were, he just wanted to convert the curves into a heat map showing the curve density as a function of location on the graph.

Replace plot(p) with:
plot(XAxis, p, 'Color', [0.5 0.5 0.5])
You can write any number between 0 and 1 instead of 0.5, as long as all three numbers are the same, the line will be gray. Smaller numbers will give you a darger grey, larger numbers will give you a lighter grey, [1 1 1] will give you white.
If you don't have data for XAxis, you can write
plot(1:length(p), p, 'Color', [0.5 0.5 0.5])
If you want a range of different tones of gray, you can use:
plot(p)
set(gca, 'ColorOrder', colormap(gray(6)))
Here, I chose 6 because you have 5 lines. Set the number to be 1 more than the number of lines you want to plot (or else the last line will be white and you will not be able to see it).
To add text inside the plot, you can use the Tool Bar:
Insert>TextBox

Try this:
p=rand(12,5);
numPlots = height(p)
% Make a color map of grays going from pure black to 75% of white (so we can still see it)
ramp = linspace(0, 0.75, numPlots);
listOfGrayColors = [ramp; ramp; ramp]';
% Plot each plot in a different gray color.
for k = 1 : numPlots
plot(p(k, :), '-', 'Color', listOfGrayColors(k, :), 'LineWidth', 6)
hold on;
end
grid on;
caption = sprintf('%d curves in gray', numPlots);
title(caption, 'FontSize', 18);
ylabel('Y', 'FontSize', 18);
xlabel('X', 'FontSize', 18);
% Put text inside box.
yl = ylim;
xl = xlim;
% Get coordinates for the text
yt = yl(2) * 0.99;
xt = mean(xl);
caption = 'ABC';
text(xt, yt, caption, 'Color', 'r', ...
'FontSize', 24, 'FontWeight', 'bold', ...
'HorizontalAlignment', 'center',...
'VerticalAlignment', 'Top');
