Is there a way of modifying chart titles, as there is for table titles via OUTPUT MODIFY?
I would need to prepend the automatically generated title with an expression that is dynamically calculated in an external Python program and submitted via spss.Submit(). OUTPUT MODIFY can't do this, right?

OUTPUT MODIFY has the subcommand /GRAPHS:

/GRAPHS CTEMPLATE = {["filespec", "filespec", ...]} {[name, name, ...] } VIZSTYLESHEET = "stylesheet name"

I haven't checked to see if you can do something with a title in a CTEMPLATE. That would be the only way using this command.

The SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT extension command allows you to modify titles but not directly in the chart.  That could be done with a custom function applied to the graph, but if you could run the GGRAPH/GPL code via Submit, you could modify the  GPL title code"\, which would be something like this

  GUIDE: text.title(label("this is my title"))

before submitting it.

Using the custom function, you would have to fetch the xml code for the chart, modify it, and set it back.
