Python: Superscript only prints beginning of float

I'm trying to print a result in pyplot using plt.legend, but the superscript

${0}^{1}

prints my {1} float (and even string) as the first part of that float(or string)

tit='The resonance position is ${0}^{1}$'.format(xl[0],xp,xm)

the result on the image(since I can't post a screenshot, I'll type it out:

                               + 
The resonance position is 8.71   0.19

or if I get rid of the '+'

                               0 
The resonance position is 8.71   .19

whilst {1}, i.e. xp (a string) is

'+0.19'

What am I doing wrong?

This is my first time using StackOverflow, I searched for this specific question and problem and couldn't find anything. So if this question had already been answered - I'm sorry!

Thank you

Use integer/float values no strings. You can use %d, %f and %s etc. Just stay at the natural datatype. Conversion to string is not necessary. Using format is slower than just use string formatting with %

"${%+.2f}^{%+.2f}$" % (float("8.71"), float("+0.19"))

You could kinf of "debug" it if you just print the string. You have to look that there have to be parentesis.

In latex it would be as $8.5^{9.67}$, if not it will only upper the first digit, as you report. So you will need to change:

${0}^{1}$

To:

${0}^{{1}}$

(Or ${0}^{{1}}$ not sure.)

Before formating it.
