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... /johannes Am 13.05.2011 um 16:59 schrieb Michael Droettboom: > I think there's a confusion of definition here: > > figure: The entire image > > axes: A box within the figure containing a plot > > Mike > > On 05/13/2011 10:20 AM, Johannes Radinger wrote: >> 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 >> >> /j >> -------- Original-Nachricht -------- >> >>> Datum: Fri, 13 May 2011 14:03:16 +0000 (UTC) >>> Von: Pauli Virtanen<p...@iki.fi> >>> An: matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net >>> Betreff: Re: [Matplotlib-users] Text outside the graphs "box" >>> >> >>> Fri, 13 May 2011 15:58:37 +0200, Johannes Radinger wrote: >>> >>>> 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.
