Hi Aman, To see the affects of rendering something new, you can use: ax.figure.canvas.blit(ax.title.get_bbox_patch()) If you intend to change the title several times, however, the above will just keep over-plotting on top of the previous titles. In that case, you'll want to use the animated=True keyword and canvas.restore_region along with the blitting -- see the animation examples for how to do that. best, -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7
