Hi Jae-Joon, Your simpler suggestion of drawing the fig twice is just fine for my needs. Thank you.
JL> The exact location of the legend is known at drawing time. Thus, the JL> location of the text needs to be calculated at the drawing. I may JL> help you with this but it is quite tricky and you need some JL> knowledge on internals of the mpl. JL> JL> Or, you may simply draw the figure twice (with same renderer), where JL> the first one is just to calculate the location of the text. JL> Here is an example. JL> JL> ------------------ JL> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt JL> plt.plot([1, 3, 2], label="test2") JL> l = plt.legend() JL> plt.draw() # the location of the legend is now known JL> JL> ax = gca() JL> bbox = l.legendPatch.get_bbox().inverse_transformed(ax.transAxes) # JL> bbox in axes coordinate. JL> x = bbox.x0+bbox.width/2. # center JL> JL> ax.text(x, 0, "test", va="bottom", ha="center", JL> transform=ax.transAxes) plt.draw() JL> --------------------- JL> JL> Note that if you want save the figure, you need to save it with a JL> same dpi, or save the figure twice as above.
