split title of a figure in matplotlib

Question

I use matplotlib to create a figure with 4 sub-plots in it.

I would like to split one of my title of a subplot, such that each line would be in the centered with respect to subplot.

I tried

import matplotlib.pylab as plt  fig = plt.figure(num=0,figsize=(8.27, 11.69), dpi=300) ax  = fig.add_subplot(2, 2, 1) ax.set_title(r'Normalized occupied \\ Neighbors') 

and what i get is that Neighbors is indent to left side.

How could i correct this?

Answer 1

I get the correct alignment when I format the string this way:

import matplotlib.pylab as plt  fig = plt.figure()#num=0,figsize=(8.27, 11.69), dpi=300) ax  = fig.add_subplot(2, 2, 1) ax.set_title('Normalized occupied \n Neighbors')  plt.show()
