I would like to be able to draw rectangles, with text centered inside them, at key positions on a plot. The case in question is a bar plot, and the rectangles need to be drawn such that they are length of one or more of the each bar groupings, side-by-side in a line along the width of the X-axis. The line of rectangles should be located just below the X-axis tickmark labels. I see the fill() command allows plotting of a polygon and the figtext() command allows text to be plotted so, in theory, these should work. My problem is (a) what is the syntax for the fill() command - I have tried ax.fill(0.5,0.5,'b') and get an error: TypeError: zip argument #1 must support iteration (b) how to calculate the correct (x,y) values for locating the start/stop points of the rectangles? i.e. how do I find out where the start/end points are for the X values of each bar grouping? And at what vertical height should the line of rectangles be located? Any ideas or insights would be appreciated? Thanks Derek
