How can i ge

Answer 1

Have you considered axes.title? You can see the documentation for it here. You can also pass x and y coordinates as keyword arguments ax.title("my title", x=0.5, y=0.6).

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Your solution using text is also my go-to solution. However, you don't need to compute the position based on xlim and ylim. If you set transform=ax.transAxes the coordinates for positioning the text are taken as being relative to the axes bounding box (0,0 being the lower left corner). Like so:

data = range(1,10);
fig = figure()
for i in range(6):
    ax = fig.add_subplot(2,3,i)

    ax.text(.5,.9,'centered title',
        horizontalalignment='center',
        transform=ax.transAxes)

    ax.plot(data)
show()

Hope that helps!
