You could add some semi-transparent text across the figure with something like:
gcf().text(0.1, 0.1, "Watermark", rotation=45, fontproperties=FontProperties(size=64), alpha=0.2) Unfortunately, alpha-transparency on text is not supported in the Agg and Svg backends (more due to an oversight than it being terribly difficult to implement -- I can try to get this in for the 0.91.2 release). But it does work on Pdf and Cairo. (Supporting it in Ps will be quite difficult). There may also be external tools to do this *after* generating the plot from matplotlib, e.g.: http://www.selonen.org/arto/netbsd/watermarks.html Cheers, Mike Nils Wagner wrote: > Hi all, > > Is it possible to add a water mark to a plot ? > > Nils > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > SF.Net email is sponsored by: > Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace. > It's the best place to buy or sell services for > just about anything Open Source. > http://sourceforge.net/services/buy/index.php > _______________________________________________ > Matplotlib-devel mailing list > Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel -- Michael Droettboom Science Software Branch Operations and Engineering Division Space Telescope Science Institute Operated by AURA for NASA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
