I have a graph with two x axis label, top and bottom. The top label is running into the title of the graph. Is there anyway to put labels on the inside of the graph? I don't see it in the documentation.
The alternative is to use a raised title, but I can't do that because my graphs are stacked. The raised title from graph below will get mixed up with the graph above it:
Python Matplotlib figure title overlaps axes label when using twiny
you can move the location of axis labels using set_label_coords.
The coords you give it are x and y, and by default the transform is the axes coordinate system: so (0,0) is (left,bottom), (0.5, 0.5) is in the middle, etc.
So, an x coord of 0.5 centres the text, and a y coord of 0.95 brings the label inside the plot, below the top axis.
Here's a quick example code to show how to do it:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig=plt.figure()
ax1=fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2=ax1.twiny()
ax1.set_xlabel('xlabel 1')
ax2.set_xlabel('xlabel 2')
ax2.xaxis.set_label_coords(0.5,0.95)
ax1.set_title('my title')
plt.show()
