The bbox needs to be in a proper coordinate. from matplotlib.transforms import TransformedBbox bb = TransformedBbox(rect[0].get_bbox(), ax.transData)
Also, do not use clip_on when clip_box is used. clip_on override clip_box with ax.bbox. text0 = ax.text(0,11,'JobName', clip_box=bb) A complete code is attached. Regards, -JJ import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.transforms import TransformedBbox fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) rect = ax.barh(10, 50, 3, facecolor='green', visible=True) ax.set_ylim(0,35) ax.set_xlim(0,1000) bb = TransformedBbox(rect[0].get_bbox(), ax.transData) text0 = ax.text(0,11,'JobName', clip_box=bb) ax.grid(True) plt.show() On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 8:41 AM, wrpd_mnd <wrpd_...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > I'm trying to set up a chart that shows a runtime trace of a single frame. > Most of it is straight forward, however one aspect of it is driving me > crazy.
