I want to draw some text and have it clipped by another rectangle I draw. The
text should only display inside the box. I have some sample code that seems
like it should work, but obviously there is something wrong because the text
does not display at all. Any help?
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
mybar, = ax.bar(0,1)
mytext = ax.text(0.5, 0.5, 'text inside box')
mytext2 = ax.text(-0.3, 0.2, 'text outside box')
ax.set_xlim(-1.5, 2.0)
ax.set_ylim(-1.0, 2.5)
fig.canvas.draw()
# comment out these lines to see text
mytext.set_clip_on(True)
mytext.set_clip_box(mybar.get_bbox())
mytext2.set_clip_on(True)
mytext2.set_clip_box(mybar.get_bbox())
plt.show()
Thanks,
-Ben
