One title over two subplots

Community matplotlib-users
#1

Hello,

I have a figure with four subplots (2x2). I would like to put a title
centered over the top row. How do I do this?

Thanks,
Dave

See pylab.figtext()

Hi,

I'm using

      from matplotlib.backends.backend_wx import FigureCanvasWx

for plotting data. It works fine, but the font used on
Windows XP is not really pretty. I would like to use another
font family and another size.

How can I achieve this ?

And another question: I'm using add_subplots mehtod for plotting,
and I would like to increase the vertical space between the
different subplots. Any hint how to do this ?

Greetings, Uwe

I just recently discovered this for a Vista legend problem I had (they were to big).

from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties
        self.figure.legend((statsLinesP + statsLinesC), (statsTextsP + statsTextsC),
                    loc=self.legendPos, prop=FontProperties(size='smaller'))

Thanks for your hint. But it does not work for me. title() does not support a 'prop' argument.

But I found a solution. One can write

     axes.set_title("title", fontsize=10)

which works for me.

But I have another question concerning fontsize's :
How can I set the fontsize of the x- and y-ticks-labels ???
