in the following post (number 23) : Moving x-axis to the top of a plot in matplotlib, the answer to move the x-axis on top is given. But it does not say anything about the title.

I have a plot with a x-axis on top and a title, but the x label interfers with my title. How can I separate the xlabel from the title ?

Thank you

You can use the y kwarg for ax.set_title. Experiment with the value of y to suit your needs.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, (ax1,ax2) = plt.subplots(1,2)

ax1.xaxis.tick_top()
ax2.xaxis.tick_top()

ax1.set_title('Title1')
ax2.set_title('Title2',y=1.05)

fig.savefig('title.png')
