Change figure window title in pylab

Question

How can I set a figure window's title in pylab/python?

fig = figure(9) # 9 is now the title of the window fig.set_title("Test") #doesn't work fig.title = "Test" #doesn't work 

Answer 1

If you want to actually change the window you can do:

fig = pylab.gcf() fig.canvas.set_window_title('Test') 

Update 2021-05-15:

The solution above is deprecated (see here). instead use

fig = pylab.gcf() fig.canvas.manager.set_window_title('Test')
