How to add a title to Seaborn Facet Plot

In ipython notebook, this worked for me!

sns.plt.title('YOUR TITLE HERE')

Updating slightly, with seaborn 0.11.1:

Seaborn's relplot function creates a FacetGrid and gives each subplot its own explanatory title. You can add a title over the whole thing:

import seaborn as sns
tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')

rp = sns.relplot(data=tips, x='total_bill', y='tip',
                 col='sex', row='smoker',
                 kind='scatter')
# rp is a FacetGrid; 
# relplot is a nice organized way to use it

rp.fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.9) # adjust the Figure in rp
rp.fig.suptitle('ONE TITLE FOR ALL')

If you create the FacetGrid directly, as in the original example, it automatically adds column and row labels instead of individual subplot titles. We can still add a title to the whole thing:

from matplotlib.pyplot import scatter as plt_scatter
g = sns.FacetGrid(tips, col='sex', row='smoker', 
                  margin_titles=True)
g.map(plt_scatter, 'total_bill', 'tip')
g.fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.9)
g.fig.suptitle('TITLE!')

The FacetGrid objects are built with matplotlib Figure objects, so we can use subplots_adjust, suptitle that may be familiar from matplotlib in general.

g.fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.9)
g.fig.suptitle('Title', fontsize=16)
