Plot titles
I know about the text function, but this has to be inside the plot. How would one make titles for plots?
Thank you.

We should wrap the matplotlib title option to plots. This would be a pretty straightforward thing to do. I've made it trac #10512. Note that you could always explicitly use a text object to make a title, but it's a little awkward.
I have sometimes used "convert" to add text to frames containing both 2d and 3d plots. I don't know if this is helpful or not, but It's the only way I know of to work with text on 3d animations (maybe someone can suggest a better way).
A code snippit:
frame.save(filename) # Need to move the frame file temporarily move_cmnd = 'mv ' + filename + ' ' + filename + '_' #print('move_cmnd: %s' %move_cmnd) os.system(move_cmnd) # This is the only way I can figure out to put text # on a tachyon frame. You need to do it AFTER saving # the frame above. label = title label += ' Seconds: %.4f' %times[time_index] convert_cmnd = 'convert -font Helvetica -fill gray ' #convert_cmnd = 'convert -font Courier -fill gray ' #convert_cmnd = 'convert -font Bookman-Light -fill gray ' convert_cmnd += '-stroke gray -pointsize 16 ' convert_cmnd += '-draw \'text 100,50 ' convert_cmnd += '"' + label + '"' +'\'' convert_cmnd += ' ' + filename + '_ ' + filename #print('convert_cmnd: %s'%convert_cmnd) os.system(convert_cmnd) del_cmnd = 'rm -f ' + filename + '_' #print('del_cmnd: %s'%del_cmnd) os.system(del_cmnd)

automatic zordering with plots
Can I convert a GraphicsArray object to a Graphics object?
Why does graph plotting crop so aggressively, and what is a work-around?
Is there any way to title a plot? Or can you display matplotlib graphs in sage?

actually, I was just wondering something similar -- I'd like to add a title to a GraphicsArray object
