Re: [Matplotlib-users] twiny and title

[Jonathan S. <js...@cf...>]

Hi Paul,

This doesn't solve my problem since the whole point was to have two
separate x axes with different scales, etc.  One thing that I found that
does help is to use the suptitle() method of figure.  This at least puts
the title at the top of the figure and I can then fiddle with the top
offset for the subplot to get the title to not overlap the axis label.
