You're looking for the subplots_adjust() method of the figure class. You don't have to manually create a figure, as one is created for you when you start calling pyplot functions. But it's useful to be able to get to the object sometimes. # At the beginning, before any plotting fig = plt.figure() #OR at some point during/after plotting, before show() fig = plt.gcf() # Gives margins in normalized figure coordinates, so 0.0 represents very bottom, 1.0 represents very top. fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.85) Hope that helps, Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
