Is there a way to overwrite suptitle? When using 3rd party libs that return a figure, if they set suptitle and don't give you the text object back then you can't overwrite it? This doesn't seem right to me. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10559144/matplotlib-suptitle-prints-over-old-title Skipper |

Looking at the code in figure.py, the suptitle() function just creates a text object and places it at a default location. Then it simply returns the object without saving a reference to it being a figure title. The only reference kept is in the self.texts list that it keeps. I see no reason why it has to be this way, though, and would certainly welcome a patch to fix this oversight (would make the code involving bbox_tight to be more simple, I think. Ben Root |

I can use this. I don't have time for a patch now, but I filed this issue. https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1262 Skipper |

Why should a reference be kept other than that in self.texts? Instead of keeping track of it somewhere else, would it be sufficient for the suptitle method to add a default "suptitle" label to the text object? Is there really anything special about the "suptitle" compared to any other text object that might be placed on the figure? Eric > > Ben Root > |

OK, I guess I see the problem now: Figure.suptitle really should be able to replace a prior suptitle, and the most straightforward way to facilitate this is with an explicit reference kept by the Figure.
