How to Continually Update Text on a Plain Figure Environment in Matlab?

[rsq_a]

I want to be able to display continually updated numbers on a plain figure environment. For example, a cheap way to do this is:

figure(1)
for j = 1:10
  title([ 'Hello'; num2str(j) ])
end

This prints out a two-liner ('Hello' and a number) in the title portion of the figure.

I want the same thing, but with no actual white plot. In other words, I just want the gray figure window, and updated figures.

How would I do this?

Something like to following

figure(1)
set(gca,'Visible','off')

for j=1:10
  text(0,0,num2str(j)
  cla
end

should work
