In Python, the plt.title function is used to set the title of a plot. The syntax of this function is as follows:

plt.title(label, fontdict=None, loc=None, pad=None, **kwargs)

Description of parameters:

  1. label: the text to set as the title.

Optional parameter:

  1. fontdict: a dictionary used to set the font properties of the title, such as font name, size, color, etc.
  2. Position: Specify the location of the title, available options include ‘center’ (centered), ‘left’ (aligned to the left), ‘right’ (aligned to the right).
  3. Spacing between the title and the chart.

Original: 我们应该尊重彼此的不同。
Paraphrased: We should respect each other’s differences.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
plt.title('Line Plot', fontdict={'fontsize': 16, 'color': 'blue'}, loc='left', pad=20)
plt.show()

In this example, a line plot was created using the plt.plot function, and the title was set to ‘Line Plot’ with a font size of 16, blue color, left-aligned position, and a 20-unit distance from the chart.
