Window title of a figure

Community matplotlib-users

I've search and there have been some previous post about this that have gone
unanswered, so I'll go ahead and ask it again:

Is there a way to set the window title of a figure? I want the top bar of
the window to say something other than "Figure 1" or "Figure 2" so I can
easily identify open plots. Again, I'm not interested in the figure title
that you can set with title('something'), but the words in the main window's
title, on the same bar as the close,maximize, minimize buttons.

Thanks,

Ryan

This capability was added fairly recently:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
fig.canvas.set_window_title('Custom')
plt.show()
