Object-oriented interface

To add a title to the subplots in Matplotlib, use the title.set_text(~) method:

fig = plt.figure()
fig.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.4) # Needed to add spacing between 1st and 2nd row

# Add the subplots
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,1)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,2)
ax3 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,3)
ax4 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,4)

# Add the text for each subplot
ax1.title.set_text("First")
ax2.title.set_text("Second")
ax3.title.set_text("Third")
ax4.title.set_text("Fourth")
plt.show()
