See [this example notebook](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/joelostblom/test_ipynbs/blob/master/seaborn_long_titles.ipynb) for details using both `matplotlib` and `seaborn`.\n\nAs I mentioned on the seaborn page, I don't think this is especially important and it's easy for the user to adjust by shrinking or splitting the title. I was just confused initially when my plots changed direction on the axis and didn't immediately relate it to the title length. Maybe a warning message can pop up when the axis title is very long, saying that it might have unexpected effects on the plot appearance?\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/joelostblom","@type":"Person","name":"joelostblom"},"datePublished":"2015-05-07T14:02:03.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":14},"url":"https://github.com/4413/matplotlib/issues/4413"}
