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.
