Good afternoon, I agree it should work and the examples i have run allow this so this is why I am looking over my specifics. The only thing I can see is the examples call to add txt via an axes entity, I have been doing it via a figure entity. I am going to re-write to draw on the axis (last time I did this it didn't display hence going for a figure). If this doesn't work I shall strip the code down to a minimum example demonstrating what I am describing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
