Title inside figure plot

I have a figure plot with title currently above the figure frame. I'm wanting to remove the white space and border around the figure and move the title to the upper-left of the plot. I'd also like to add text that's right-justified with the title.
What would be the simplest solution for this?

Something like this?
% a figure, red in color so it can be seen against the white background here:
figure('Color','r')
% some plot:
plot(1:10)
% set the axes position to remove some space around the axes:
set(gca(),'Position',[0.05 0.05 0.93 0.93])
% make a text object for the title:
xl = get(gca(),'Xlim');
yl = get(gca(),'Ylim');
t = text(xl(1),yl(2),'Here is a Title for the Plot', ...
'VerticalAlignment','top', ...
'FontSize',12);
% make a text object for the right-justified text:
ext = get(t,'Extent');
rt = text(ext(1)+ext(3),ext(2),'right-justified text', ...
'HorizontalAlignment','right', ...
'VerticalAlignment','top');

Along these lines, but I'm needing the right-justified text to be on upper right side of the figure and in line with the title text. Basically, I'd like the second line to be in the upper right-hand corner of the figure.
