Hi,
I'm having some trouble with using twiny and a title on the plot. The
title is writing over the axis label -- and even the tick labels. I've
tried tight_layout() but it doesn't seem to help. I could use fig.text
instead of title and place the title text where I want it (with a bit of
fiddling), but it'd be nice to have a more elegant solution.

Try this is a workaround:
fig, ax1 = plt.subplots()
ax2 = ax1.twiny()
ax1.plot(np.random.randn(50), 'gs')
ax2.plot(np.random.randn(50), 'bo')
ax1.set_title('Test Title')
ax2.xaxis.tick_bottom()
plt.show()
Does that help?

Hi Paul,
This doesn't solve my problem since the whole point was to have two
separate x axes with different scales, etc. One thing that I found that
does help is to use the suptitle() method of figure. This at least puts
the title at the top of the figure and I can then fiddle with the top
offset for the subplot to get the title to not overlap the axis label.
