Matplotlib suptitle prints over old title

matplotlib, python

Solution

`figure.suptitle` returns a `matplotlib.text.Text` instance. You can save it and set the new title:

txt = fig.suptitle('A test title')
txt.set_text('A better title')
plt.draw()

Problem

I am trying to use `suptitle` to print a title, and I want to occationally replace this title. Currently I am using: ``` self.ui.canvas1.figure.suptitle(title) ``` where figure is a matplotlib figure (canvas1 is an mplCanvas, but that is not relevant) and title is a python string. Currently, this works, except for the fact that when I run this code again later, it just prints the new text on top of the old, resulting in a gargeled, unreadable title. How do you replace the old `suptitle` of a figure, instead of just printing over? Thanks, Tyler
