I'm not sure it's the best approach, but I've used HPacker (or VPacker if you
want more than one line) to do this
from matplotlib.offsetbox import HPacker
from matplotlib.offsetbox import VPacker
from matplotlib.offsetbox import TextArea
from matplotlib.offsetbox import AnchoredOffsetbox
plot([1,2,3,4,5])
wloc = TextArea('WIND XYZ=()', textprops=dict(color="r", size=12))
sloc = TextArea('SOHO XYZ=()', textprops=dict(color="k", size=18))
txt1 = HPacker(children=[wloc, sloc], align="baseline", pad=0, sep=12)
txt2 = VPacker(children=[wloc, sloc], align="baseline", pad=0, sep=30)
bbox = AnchoredOffsetbox(loc=1.0, pad=0, borderpad=0,
bbox_to_anchor=(0.8, 0.10),
bbox_transform=gca().transAxes,
child=txt1,
frameon=False)
gca().add_artist(bbox)
bbox = AnchoredOffsetbox(loc=1.0, pad=0, borderpad=0,
bbox_to_anchor=(0.4, 0.80),
bbox_transform=gca().transAxes,
child=txt2,
frameon=False)
gca().add_artist(bbox)

You should be able to follow the approach I've taken here in stacking the text bounding boxes together: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/697 best, -- _ / \ A* \^ - ,./ _.`\\ / \ / ,--.S\/ \ / `"~,_ \\ __o ? _ \<,_ /:\ --(_)/-(_).../ | \ --...J Paul Ivanov http://pirsquared.org -- Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
