Plot circle at the title in matplotlib python - matplotlib

Question

I have a 2 line title and first line has a number at the end of the line.
Can we plot a circle around the number?
Here is the code to generate the figure.
from matplotlib import rcParams
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import os
rcParams.update({'figure.autolayout': True})
some_text = 'XXX'
any_number=15
title = '%s: %d\n YYY ZZZZ WWWWW' % (some_text,any_number)
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8), dpi=100)
plt.tick_params(axis='y', which='major', labelsize=60, width=3, length=10, pad=40)
plt.tick_params(axis='y', which='minor', labelsize=60, width=3, length=10, pad=40)
ax = plt.gca()
plt.title(title, fontsize=60, pad=40, loc='center', fontweight='semibold')
plt.style.use('ggplot')
ax.set_facecolor('white')
ax.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['right'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['bottom'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['left'].set_visible(True)
for edge_i in ['left']:
ax.spines[edge_i].set_edgecolor("black")
ax.spines[edge_i].set_linewidth(3)
ax.spines[edge_i].set_bounds(0, 1)
x = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
plt.yticks(np.arange(0, 1.01, step=0.2))
data_list= np.array([1,1,1,1,1,0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.8,0.85])
plt.bar(x, data_list, 0.9, color='indianred',edgecolor="black", linewidth=3,zorder=1)
plt.tick_params(
axis='x', # changes apply to the x-axis
which='both', # both major and minor ticks are affected
bottom=False, # ticks along the bottom edge are off
top=False, # ticks along the top edge are off
labelbottom=False) # labels along the bottom edge are off
figure_name = 'figure_with_circle.png'
figure_file = os.path.join('/Users/burcakotlu/Desktop',figure_name)
fig.savefig(figure_file, dpi=100, bbox_inches="tight")
plt.close(fig)
Here is the current figure and the wanted circle.

Answer 1

One could use the following without ax.bar():
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_title('title')
circle1 = plt.Circle((2,4.15), 0.2, color='k', clip_on=False, zorder=100, fill=False)
ax.add_patch(circle1)
ax.set_xlim(0,4)
ax.set_ylim(0,4)
plt.show()

Answer 2

I have found a way to plot circle together with bar plots without distorting bars. Here is the code below:
from matplotlib import rcParams
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import os
import matplotlib.patches as patches
from matplotlib.offsetbox import AnchoredText
rcParams.update({'figure.autolayout': True})
some_text = 'XXX'
any_number=15
title = '%s: %d\n YYY ZZZZ WWWWW' % (some_text,any_number)
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12,12), dpi=100)
plt.tick_params(axis='y', which='major', labelsize=60, width=3, length=10, pad=40)
plt.tick_params(axis='y', which='minor', labelsize=60, width=3, length=10, pad=40)
ax = plt.gca()
number_of_xxx = '12'
anchored_text_number_of_xxx = AnchoredText(number_of_xxx,
frameon=False, borderpad=0, pad=0.1,
loc='upper right',
bbox_to_anchor=[0.95, 1.3],
bbox_transform=plt.gca().transAxes,
prop={'fontsize': 60,
'fontweight': 'semibold'})
ax.add_artist(anchored_text_number_of_xxx)
circle1 = patches.Circle((0.88, 1.25), radius=0.1, transform=ax.transAxes, zorder=100, fill=False, color='gold', lw=8, clip_on=False)
ax.add_patch(circle1)
ax.set_title(title, fontsize=60, pad=40, loc='center', fontweight='semibold', zorder=50)
ax.set_facecolor('white')
ax.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['right'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['bottom'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['left'].set_visible(True)
for edge_i in ['left']:
ax.spines[edge_i].set_edgecolor("black")
ax.spines[edge_i].set_linewidth(3)
ax.spines[edge_i].set_bounds(0, 1)
x = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
ax.set_yticks(np.arange(0, 1.01, step=0.2))
data_list= np.array([1,1,1,1,1,0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.8,0.85])
ax.bar(x, data_list, 0.9, color='indianred',edgecolor="black", linewidth=3,zorder=1)
ax.tick_params(
axis='x', # changes apply to the x-axis
which='both', # both major and minor ticks are affected
bottom=False, # ticks along the bottom edge are off
top=False, # ticks along the top edge are off
labelbottom=False) # labels along the bottom edge are off
figure_name = 'figure_with_circle.png'
figure_file = os.path.join('/Users/burcakotlu/Desktop',figure_name)
fig.savefig(figure_file, dpi=100, bbox_inches="tight")
plt.close(fig)
