python - Get the title of a given figure

Question

I have created a figure and have attached to it a title like this:

def func():
    fig = plt.figure()
    fig.suptitle("my title")
    return fig

Now I would like to retrieve the title I set in the function. Something like this:

fig.get_title()

It seems not to exist. Any idea besides returning the Text object that I can get from the fig.suptitle("w/e") function ?

Answer 1

There seems to be no public API to access this. But with some cautions you could use the non-public / potentially instable members:

fig._suptitle.get_text()
