matplotlib.axes.Axes.text
-
Axes.text(self, x, y, s, fontdict=None, withdash=<deprecated parameter>, **kwargs)
[source] -
Add text to the axes.
Add the text s to the axes at location x, y in data coordinates.
Parameters: -
x, yscalars
-
The position to place the text. By default, this is in data coordinates. The coordinate system can be changed using the transform parameter.
-
sstr
-
The text.
-
fontdictdictionary, optional, default: None
-
A dictionary to override the default text properties. If fontdict is None, the defaults are determined by your rc parameters.
-
withdashboolean, optional, default: False
-
Creates a
TextWithDash
instance instead of aText
instance.
Returns: -
textText
-
The created
Text
instance.
Other Parameters: -
**kwargsText properties.
-
Other miscellaneous text parameters.
Examples
Individual keyword arguments can be used to override any given parameter:
>>> text(x, y, s, fontsize=12)
The default transform specifies that text is in data coords, alternatively, you can specify text in axis coords ((0, 0) is lower-left and (1, 1) is upper-right). The example below places text in the center of the axes:
>>> text(0.5, 0.5, 'matplotlib', horizontalalignment='center', ... verticalalignment='center', transform=ax.transAxes)
You can put a rectangular box around the text instance (e.g., to set a background color) by using the keyword bbox. bbox is a dictionary of
Rectangle
properties. For example:>>> text(x, y, s, bbox=dict(facecolor='red', alpha=0.5))
