Hello. My problem is as follows:
(ipython --pylab)
from pylab import *
pp=plot([0,0],[1,1])
text(xlim()[0],1,'Need padding ',horizontalalignment='left')
text(xlim()[1],1,'Need padding ',horizontalalignment='right')
The second case does not do what I want, which is to pad the text on
Thanks. Unfortunately this gives me the same results: no good. Something is
stripping whatever filler is there on the right.
text(xlim()[1],1.01,'string'.ljust(10,' '),horizontalalignment='right')

All my attempts at using TeX spacing failed too. What do you have in mind?
e.g.
text(xlim()[1],1.02,r'$r^\;2$~~~',horizontalalignment='right')

Hm, I don't know about mpl's mathtext mode, but I'm actually always
working in usetex mode. Unfort

Ok, thanks. I hope I am understanding. Would you be able
