[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib V1.3 suptitle

[Peter B. <pet...@ca...>]

Good morning,

I am running openSuSE 12.2, and this morning I upgraded matplotlib to 
v1.3, and now I am having a problem with suptitle.
I use the following lines to put a title and legend onto a plot figure

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

     plt.figure(1)

plt.suptitle( "Study# : " + os.path.basename( inImage_IO.IO_FileName ) + \

"\n" + "{ Acquired : " + \

AcqDateTime.strftime( "%b %d, %Y - $T_o$ @ %H:%M:%S" ) + " }", \

y=0.98, weight="roman", size="large" )

plt.suptitle( "{Creation Date : " + AnalysisTOD + "}",

x=0.86, y=0.03, weight="roman", size="x-small" )


Under v1.3, I only get the 'Creation Date : ...' text at the bottom of 
the figure the 'Study# ...' string is not present at the top. If I change
it to

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

     plt.figure(1)

plt.suptitle( "Study# : ", y=0.98, weight="roman", size="large" )

plt.suptitle( "{Creation Date : " + AnalysisTOD + "}",

x=0.86, y=0.03, weight="roman", size="x-small" )

the 'Creation Date : ...' text at the bottom of the figure the 'Study# : 
' string is at the top.


So the problem is in the string construct in the first example. Does 
anybody know of a way to get around this?


Thanks in advance


Peter
