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. I would like to label the inside of the bar fragments (each represent a function call with the x-extent being its runtime) with the name of the task, however I would like the text itself to be fully contained within the bar itself. I should, in theory, be able to set the clipping box of the text to be the bounding box of the bar and that should give me the result I want. Except, I'm not getting that.
Any ideas? See the code below: import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 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) text0 = ax.text(0,11,'JobName',clip_on=True,clip_box=rect[0].get_bbox()) ax.grid(True) plt.show() -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Clip-text-in-bars-tp28693489p28693489.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
