Because the location of the texts are backend-dependent, the location of the xbox surrounding the text are recalculated during the drawing time. I don't think there is no easy workaround unfortunately. If you are experienced in matplotlib, you may try is to rewrite the get_path method of the bbox. The example code below, while a bit complicated, tries to make the the bbox align with the axes. ax.title.set_ha(left) bbox_get_path = bbox.get_path def my_get_path(): pad = bbox.get_boxstyle().pad*bbox.get_mutation_scale() x0, y0 = bbox.get_transform().transform_point((0,0)) xx = ax.bbox.x0 - x0 bbox.set_x(xx+pad) bbox.set_width(ax.bbox.width-2*pad) return bbox_get_path() bbox.get_path = my_get_path regards, -JJ -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

[Matplotlib-users] draw bbox around axes title
Hi, I'm trying to draw a box around an axes title, and I'm having trouble controlling it. I want the box to span the width of the x axis. I tried some iterations on the below since xy and height/width are hard-coded in set_title, but when I call show, it seems the width of the box is reset. Any ideas? Thanks, Skipper import matplotlib as mpl import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111, axisbg='lightgrey') ax.set_ylim(-0.05,1.05) ax.set_xlim(-0.5,9.5) rd = np.random.dirichlet(np.ones(10)) ax.plot(np.arange(10), rd, 'bo', markersize=5) ax.vlines(np.arange(10), 0 ,rd, color='b') title_box = dict(boxstyle = Round, fc='gray', ec='black') ax.set_title(1, bbox = title_box, x=0, y=1) bbox = ax.title._bbox_patch bbox.update(dict(width=25.)) fig.suptitle(Dirichlet(1) Draw, fontsize=36) fig.subplots_adjust(top=.85) -- Ridiculously easy VDI.
