That should read text(1.0, 1.02, 'testing', horizontalalignment='right', verticalalignment='bottom', fontsize=14, transform=ax.transAxes) For more on transforms and the various coordinate systems, see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/transforms_tutorial.html JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
