Hello,
I don’t find anything about the topic, so maybe my question is so pointless but I don’t know…
I’m wondering, how I can add a title to a plot?
I use the raw.plot_psd() function.
Thank you very much for your consideration!
You can use the ax parameter to pass an existing axis. Then, you can use matplotlib to add a title, e.g. something along these lines:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
# load raw data
raw.plot_psd(ax=ax)
ax.set_title("My title")
Hi,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I tried your code in this way but it does not work:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mne#Load data
r = data_rest + “/AB24 rest_ipol_asr_ICA_MARA.set”open the file in MNE
rest = mne.io.read_raw_eeglab(r, preload=False, uint16_codec=None, verbose=None)#Your coding part
fig, ax = plt.subplots()#using raw.plot_psd()
rest.plot_psd(ax=ax, fmin=0, fmax=50, tmin=0, tmax=420, proj=False, n_fft=1000,dB=True, n_overlap=500, reject_by_annotation=False)ax.set_title(“Title”)
I also tried to use mne.viz.plot_raw_psd instead of raw.plot_psd:
mne.viz.plot_raw_psd(rest,ax=ax,fmin=0, fmax=50, tmin=0, tmax=420, proj=False, n_fft=1000,dB=True, n_overlap=500, reject_by_annotation=False)
Thank you very much!!

What does that mean, specifically?
It plots a PSD properly, but it is not changing/adding the title.
There is no error popping up.
Thank you for asking specification 
Thanks, I could reproduce this now. I could make it work by passing show=False and showing the figure manually after updating the axis titles.
import os
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mne
sample_data_folder = mne.datasets.sample.data_path()
sample_data_raw_file = os.path.join(sample_data_folder, 'MEG', 'sample',
'sample_audvis_raw.fif')
raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(sample_data_raw_file, verbose=False)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(3) # In this example dataset, we have 3 channel types -> 3 axes required!
raw.plot_psd(ax=ax, show=False)
ax[0].set_title('foo')
ax[1].set_title('bar')
ax[2].set_title('baz')
fig.tight_layout() # Without this, I got ugly overlaps between titles and plots!
fig.show()
@drammock Do you think it would make sense to add a titles kwarg to make this easier?
It works!!! Thank you very much!!
