   To translate this: What the user wants is a figure level function that creates a label for a set of subplots, similar to how fig.suptitle("dada") creates a title for the complete figure.

   

   There is a user script for Matlab which provides such function under the name of suplabel.

   A respective SO question seems to be pretty popular.
   However, I think the only true advantage such function would have compared to a manually placed text is if it was possible to include it in the geometry management for subplots.

   This is doable in the constrained_layout manager, not in tight_layout.

   Cross-ref #13072 as a similar issue

   I am intrigued. Question: should the supxlabel and supylabel text have a different font size, much like suptitle? Also, should there be rcparams for this, similar to what suptitle has? Right now, there is a figure.titlesize which is used for suptitle. I would guess the equivalent would be figure.labelsize and such?

   Yes, I think so. BTW, I'd like this attached to gridspec rather than figure, so that there can be two "subfigures" in a paretn figure.

   There will be centering complaints (see #13072) that I don't think are trivial.

   I'd like to take a go at this in the next couple weeks. Will ask more questions here as I get started.
