Matplotlib tight_layout() doesn't take into account figure suptitle

Question

If I add a subtitle to my matplotlib figure it gets overlaid by the subplot\'s titles. Does anybody know how to easily take care of that? I tried the tight_layout()

Answer 1

You can adjust the subplot geometry in the very tight_layout call as follows:

fig.tight_layout(rect=[0, 0.03, 1, 0.95])

As it's stated in the documentation (https://matplotlib.org/users/tight_layout_guide.html):

tight_layout() only considers ticklabels, axis labels, and titles. Thus, other artists may be clipped and also may overlap.
