Etichette delle figure: suptitle, supxlabel, supylabel

Ogni asse può avere un titolo (o in realtà tre - uno ciascuno con loc "sinistra", "centro" e "destra"), ma a volte è desiderabile dare a una figura intera (o SubFigure) un titolo generale, usando FigureBase.suptitle.

Possiamo anche aggiungere etichette x e y a livello di figura usando FigureBase.supxlabele FigureBase.supylabel.

from matplotlib.cbook import get_sample_data
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import numpy as np


x = np.linspace(0.0, 5.0, 501)

fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, constrained_layout=True, sharey=True)
ax1.plot(x, np.cos(6*x) * np.exp(-x))
ax1.set_title('damped')
ax1.set_xlabel('time (s)')
ax1.set_ylabel('amplitude')

ax2.plot(x, np.cos(6*x))
ax2.set_xlabel('time (s)')
ax2.set_title('undamped')

fig.suptitle('Different types of oscillations', fontsize=16)

Text(0.5, 0.99131875, 'Different types of oscillations')

È possibile impostare un'etichetta x o y globale utilizzando i metodi FigureBase.supxlabele .FigureBase.supylabel
