[Matplotlib-users] adding whitespace to plot title?

[Carla A. N. <c-...@no...>]

Hi, I'm having the worst time formatting my plot title in Python using
matplotlib.
I want the title to read

"delta^15N and TL for" name "food web"

where delta should be the greek symbol, 15 should be superscript, and the 
title takes the user-supplied string variable, name, and adds it in to
the string. 

From what I've tried, I can either get the symbol/superscript formatting
correct and lose all the rest of the text (or have it squished together
with no whitespace) or no math formatting at all.

This is the best I've been able to do:

title(r'$\delta^{15}N and Trophic Level for Food Web$')

which gives me a good result, but no whitespace and no way to add in the
file name on the fly.  (This is a program that processes a file you give
it and gives you a plot of the results)

Anyone out there know a command to manually add a space?  Is there
something equivalent to \t or \n?

Thanks!
