Specify the coordinates using the axes transform -- (0,0) is bottom left and (1,1) is top right ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.text(0.1, 0.9, 'this is a test', transform=ax.transAxes) See also the "annotate" command, which takes a variety of different coordinate systems: data, axes, figure.. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.annotate http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/annotation_demo.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/annotation_demo2.html JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
