[Matplotlib-users] Displaying a title in wxPython embedded plot

Hi,

I embed a matplotlib canvas in a wxPython dialog.  This works great and the 
title of the figure is displayed as the window title for the dialog, which 
is dandy.  Here is a stripped down version of the code (minus navigation 
toolbar etc)

class PlotDialog(wx.Dialog):
   def __init__(
             self, parent, ID, title, MakeFigArgs, size=wx.DefaultSize, 
pos=wx.DefaultPosition, style=wx.DEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE):

         # Precreation code
         pre = wx.PreDialog()
         pre.SetExtraStyle(wx.DIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP)
         pre.Create(parent, ID, title, pos, size, style)
         self.PostCreate(pre)

         self.canvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, self.figure)
         self.figure = Figure(figsize=(5,4), dpi=100)
         self.axes = self.figure.add_subplot(111)
         self.axes.plot([1,2,3], [1,2,3]

However, I also want the title to appear in the plot itself, so that when I 
issue:

self.canvas.Copy_to_Clipboard(event=evt).

I have a title with my plot.  Simply adding

title("The Title")

Does nothing.

Any tips?
Thanks  -mike
