I'm working with Matplotlib in Python, and have the simple figure-suptitle layout shown below

  Title
----------
|Figure  |
|Pieces  |
----------

The figure pieces are squished a bit, however. To make room, I would like to put the figure suptitle on the side, like so

----------   
|Figure  | (title rotated 90 degrees) 
|Pieces  |
----------

The reason I would like to do this is that there are 47 of these, and each will go on its own 8.5" x 11" page. An alternative would be to rotate the figure itself, although I imagine that might be harder.

• Use the rotation parameter.
• See

  names = ['group_a', 'group_b', 'group_c']
  values = [1, 10, 100]
  
  plt.figure(figsize=(9, 3))
  
  plt.subplot(131)
  plt.bar(names, values)
  plt.subplot(132)
  plt.scatter(names, values)
  plt.subplot(133)
  plt.plot(names, values)
  plt.suptitle('Categorical Plotting', ha='right', va='center', x=0.95, y=0.5, rotation=270)
  plt.show()
