Description
This PR introduces a new feature that allows users to control the x-coordinate of Axes titles in Matplotlib. Prior to this change, the title's horizontal position was automatically determined, which could sometimes lead to overlap with other elements on the Axes. This enhancement is a response to Issue #7946, where there was a need for greater control over the title positioning.
Changes Made
Modified
_axes.py
:set_title
method to include a new parameterx=None
, allowing users to specify the horizontal position of the Axes title (File:lib/matplotlib/axes/_axes.py
).Documentation and Configuration Updates:
x
parameter in theset_title
method, explaining its default behavior and usage (File:lib/matplotlib/axes/_axes.py
)【58†source】.axes.titlex
setting inmatplotlibrc
andclassic.mplstyle
, with a default value ofNone
to maintain backward compatibility (Files:lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc
,lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/stylelib/classic.mplstyle
).Configuration Validation:
rcsetup.py
to validate theaxes.titlex
parameter (File:lib/matplotlib/rcsetup.py
).Testing:
test_axes.py
andtest_text.py
to ensure the new functionality works as expected and does not affect other features (Files:lib/matplotlib/tests/test_axes.py
,lib/matplotlib/tests/test_text.py
).This is my attempt at contribution to an open source project. I would appreciate a review of the code changes! Thank you.
