Drawing box around a text is quite easy. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/fancytextbox_demo.html
To place a text in a way like ticklabels, you need to use blended transform. The short example may give you some starting point. -JJ from matplotlib.transforms import blended_transform_factory ax = subplot(111) # x position in axes coordinate : 1.02 # y position in data coordinate : 0.3 t = ax.text(1.02, 0.3, "label", ha="left", transform=blended_transform_factory(ax.transAxes, ax.transData), bbox=dict(boxstyle="round", fc="cyan"), ) On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 12:51 PM, Christophe Dupre<christophe.du...@vhayu.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to add some annotations onto an axis as shown in the attached > picture. > Is that do-able?
