I recommend you to use "annotate". http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html?highlight=annotate#matplotlib.pyplot.annotate you may begin with something like below. txt=plt.text(0.5, 0.5, "Test1") plt.annotate("My Test2", xy=(0.5, 1.), xycoords=txt, xytext=(0, 5), textcoords="offset points", ha="center", va="bottom") See belows for more details. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/annotations_guide.html#using-complex-coordinate-with-annotation http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/annotations_guide.html#using-complex-coordinate-with-annotation -JJ > It looks like my problem is that get_x() returns a value in ticks and > txtax.get_size() is in pixels and I can't find a way to get at the > height of the text element in ticks. > > Can anyone please push me in the right direction. > > Werner > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper > David G.
