Python: How to wrap title in a matplotlib plot to fit long title

Question

I have to put a long title on my plot. I want to wrap the title so that it fits perfectly. How can I wrap the long title in a plot? My title looks like this: 

title = 'Coded and inferred suicidality/self-harm seen in inpatient/ER meta-visits by state for patients with major mental illness'

Answer 1

You can wrap the title using wrap() module.  Check the following example to understand how to use the wrap() function.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from textwrap import wrap

title = 'Coded and inferred suicidality/self-harm seen in inpatient/ER meta-visits by state for patients with major mental illness'

plt.title('\n'.join(wrap(title,60)), fontsize=14)

Here I have used size '60' to wrap. You can change it according to your plot.
