Consider this code:\n\n``` python\nf, ax = plt.subplots()\nax.plot(rand(100))\nax.set_title('Axis title')\nf.suptitle('Figure title');\n```\n\nwhich produces this in the notebook:\n\n![](http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/5448/selection001c.png)\n\nA slightly more complicated example, using basemap, not only truncates the title but also all the x and y labels.  We show it here for reference, but as @jswhit (basemap author) pointed out over email, basemap labels are located at arbitrary positions and so it's harder for matplotlib to take them into consideration.\n\n``` python\nfrom mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap\n\nlon0, lat0, lon1, lat1 = (84.38, 26.22, 88.9, 29.8)\nresolution = 'i'\n\nparallels = np.linspace(lat0, lat1, 5)\nmeridians = np.linspace(lon0, lon1, 5)\n\nf, ax = plt.subplots()\nm = Basemap(lon0, lat0, lon1, lat1, resolution=resolution, ax=ax)\nm.drawcountries(color=(1,1,0))  # country boundaries in pure yellow\nm.drawrivers(color=(0,1,1))  # rivers in cyan\nm.bluemarble()  # NASA bluemarble image\nm.drawmeridians(meridians, labels=[0,0,0,1], fmt='%.2f')\nm.drawparallels(parallels, labels=[1,0,0,0], fmt='%.2f')\nf.suptitle('The Himalayas');\n```\n\n![](http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7213/selection003k.png)\n\nWhile we noticed this in the notebook, the problem will be present for any figure saving operation that supports `bbox_inches='tight'`.  \n\nAs discussed in the [mailing list thread about this problem](http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=CAHAreOqGuUEKXbbRWVxPgkd25WM4GkTdGbUB7x-aK%3DGD%3DAvYHg%40mail.gmail.com\u0026forum_name=matplotlib-devel), mpl should probably use the position of 'official' artists such figure suptitles in the computation of the bounding box.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/fperez","@type":"Person","name":"fperez"},"datePublished":"2012-01-29T20:19:19.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/688/matplotlib/issues/688"}
