How to add a title to Seaborn Facet Plot

Question

How do I add a title to this Seaborne plot? Let\'s give it a title \'I AM A TITLE\'.

tips = sns.load_dataset(\"tips\")
g = sns.FacetGrid(tips, col=\"sex\", r         


        

Answer 1

The answers using sns.plt.title() and sns.plt.suptitle() don't work anymore.

Instead, you need to use matplotlib's title() function:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.FacetGrid(<whatever>)
plt.title("A title")

Answer 2

What worked for me was:

sns.plt.suptitle('YOUR TITLE HERE')

Answer 3

The title will not be center aligned with the subplot titles. To set the position of the title you can use plt.suptitle("Title", x=center)

In my case, my subplots were in a 2x1 grid, so I was able to use bbox = g.axes[0,0].get_position() to find the bounding box and then center=0.5*(bbox.x1+bbox.x2)

Answer 4

After those lines:

plt.subplots_adjust(top=0.9)
g.fig.suptitle('THIS IS A TITLE, YOU BET') # can also get the figure from plt.gcf()

If you add a suptitle without adjusting the axis, the seaborn facet titles overlap it.

(With different data):

Answer 5

plt.suptitle("Title") 

or

plt.title("Title")

This worked for me.

Answer 6

g.fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.9)
g.fig.suptitle('Title', fontsize=16)
