I'm plotting in an IPython IDE using Matplotlib.pyplot and added a title with:
plt.title('Mean WRFv3.5 LHF\n(September 16 - October 30, 2012)', fontsize=40)
However, I want the first line to be size 40 and the second line to be size 18. Is that possible in matplotlib? I saw the LaTeX use of \tiny and \Huge, but would like more control.
Try:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rc('text', usetex=True)
plt.title(r'\fontsize{30pt}{3em}\selectfont{}{Mean WRFv3.5 LHF\r}{\fontsize{18pt}{3em}\selectfont{}(September 16 - October 30, 2012)}')
plt.show()
That \r might want to be a \n on your system.
RuntimeError: LaTeX was not able to process the following string: 'lp' in Mac. Seems the solution is to install texlive-latex-extra. I tried it but didn't work me.
...selectfont{}(September 16... seems to miss a { before (September....
\r,\n, etc) to get it working, then adapt: i.e. t = r'\fontsize{30pt}{3em}\selectfont{}{SomeTitle}' -> plt.title( t )Not sure if this is what you want, but you may add a suptitle or text and set at different fontsize like this:
plt.title('Mean WRFv3.5 LHF\n', fontsize=40)
plt.suptitle('(September 16 - October 30, 2012)\n', fontsize=18)
plt.text(0.5, 1, 'the third line', fontsize=13, ha='center')
Hope this helps.
plt.title(title1, fontsize=12, y=0.95)From here: https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/subplots_axes_and_figures/figure_title.html
You could use it like:
fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, layout='constrained', sharey=True)
ax1.set_title('damped')
fig.suptitle('Different types of oscillations', fontsize=16)
Like this the two different titles should not superimpose on each other.
