matplotlib.pyplot.text(x, y, s, fontdict=None, ﹡﹡kwargs)
Add text to the Axes.
Add the text s to the Axes at location x, y in data coordinates, with a default horizontalalignment on the left and verticalalignment at the baseline. See Text alignment.
Parameters:
x, y: float
The position to place the text. By default, this is in data coordinates. The coordinate system can be changed using the transform parameter.
s: str
The text.
fontdict: dict, default: None
Discouraged: The use of fontdict is discouraged. Parameters should be passed as individual keyword arguments or using dictionary-unpacking text(..., ﹡﹡fontdict).
A dictionary to override the default text properties. If fontdict is None, the defaults are determined by rcParams.
Note: This is the pyplot wrapper for axes.Axes.text.
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:
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))
