The y value of the title instance is in axes coordinates, so 1 is the
top of the axes, and numbers greater than 1 are further above the
top.  So you can do

t.set.y(1.1)

where t is the matplotlib.text.Text instance returned from pylab
'title' or from matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_title (both do the same
thing).

Alternatively, you can set the title instance properties from the axes
instance

ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.title.set_y(1.1)

One of the examples shows how to do this if I recall correctly, but I
don't remember which one.  Eric Firing wrote it so I'm sure he'll be
along shortly to point you to the light.  Eric -- perhaps we should
also add a snippet to the colorbar docstring since this is a common
request.

Petr:  The title command takes 'x' and 'y' keyword arguments that set 
the position of the title in axis coordinates.  For example, try 
'y=1.075' to move the title up a bit.

I usually use the 'shrink' keyword to adjust the colorbar in situations 
like this.  You have to fiddle with it a bit to get the right value.  In 
your case, 'shrink=0.4' ought to do it.

Hello,
i'd like to ask two questions:

1) Is it possible to control amount of space between title and graph?

2) When set_aspect() is used, the size of colorbar does not respect
y-dimension of the graph. (See the attached example.) Is it possible to
set the size of the colorbar directly?

I've seen that it also works with
WxAgg version 2.8.0.1 for python 2.5
I hope this information can be useful

Hi Eric,

Sorry for getting to this thread late - back from a quick holiday now.
I have written an image browser module that does what it sounds like
you're trying to do (and works with 3-D image stacks as well). It's
still quite rudimentary, and I hadn't really planned on sharing it in
its current state, but it may be that you can find some useful ideas
in the code. The image browser is a matplotlib canvas embedded in a wx
window, and I use the WxAgg backend - I've no idea how that will
change things from your setup. I run it interactively from ipython
-pylab as shown below.

Usage is pretty simple:

In [1]: import pyvis
In [2]: pv = pyvis.pyvis()
In [3]: pv.AddImg(arange(10000).reshape(100,100), 'my gradient')

then play around with the menus. More than one image can be loaded at
a time. I haven't had a close look at the memory usage, but it has
been working adequately for quite large image stacks
(1024x1024x250x8-bit). Feel free to use the code as you like.

Hello MPL users,

I've been trying to create high-resolution graphics made with imshow()
for a publication lately and I can't seem to manage that. Attached you
can find an SVG file created with
canvas.print_figure("svg-dpi-test.svg", dpi=300)

Which should create a much higher resolution than it does. It doesn't
work to save it as eps first (even though I have less freedom to  What
also got my attention was that when creating a figure with a high dpi
this does not increase dpi, but increases font-size. In my expectations
increasing dpi should not affect font-size, or if font-size is specified
in pixels it should decrease font-size. Now it seems as though font-size
is inversely correlated to dpi, which feels wrong. The reason I
elaborate on this is that it may be that I totally misunderstand the way
resolution is handled by MPL, in which case I would appreciate some
pointers.

Creating a PNG from the pop-up window by show()ing the output gives a
somewhat higher resolution, but also removes the freedom to change
things, and the maximum resolution seems to be limited by the
screen-size anyway. (It might be nice to include a resolution option there.)

Another issue I have with the SVG output is that the images are out of
their boxes on the bottom and on the right side. This only happens when
creating an SVG.

Any help would be appreciated!

This was seen on numpy-discussion.  Is this the behavior implemented in
matplotlib/numerix/fft/__init__.py ?

Doesn't look like it to me ...
