I intend to get the bbox of the text, and adjust the next plotted text y value with an offset equals the height of the bounding box. it seems feasable. but I need some feedback, is that the good way? are the bounding boxe sizes relative to figure size or absolute (axis values, ie: dependant of scaling/zooming)? has anyone ever done that (or similar)?
