Text outside the graphs "box"

Hello again I tried:

plt.figtext(0, 1.2, r'F\(x\)=p\*\\frac\{1\}\{s1\\sqrt\{2\\pi\}\}', fontsize=20)

but then the text is outside the printed area and therefore not
displayed. Does that mean that the printed area has to be changed as
well?

The first two parameters are the x and y coordinates of the text,
in range [0, 1]. Adjust them to put the text inside the figure.

That is not what I want, to put the text inside the figure.

I want the text above the figure with some space (e.g 2 cm) to the figure
thats why I tried 0, 1.2 but then the text is outside the margins

I think there's a confusion of definition here:

   figure: The entire image

   axes: A box within the figure containing a plot

"figure" is the term for the entire printable space. The graphs that
are made in a figure are called "plots". figtext() lets you put text
anywhere you want in the normalized domain of 0 to 1. If you want the
text exactly in the middle, the specify 0.5, 0.5. Want it in a
corner, then you can do 0.0, 1.0. Figtext is what you want.

How is the space between the axis and the outer margins of a figure defined?
How much space is between the upper most plot and the upper end of the figure?
This is the space e.g for the titles etc. but can this be space be increased?

Or how can a some text be placed above the axis but with a lot of space?
I hope it is now clearer...

Use subplots_adjust.
