"""
Placing text boxes
==================
When decorating Axes with text boxes, two useful tricks are to place the text
in axes coordinates (see :ref:`transforms_tutorial`),
so the text doesn't move around with changes in x or y limits. You
can also use the ``bbox`` property of text to surround the text with a
`~matplotlib.patches.Patch` instance -- the ``bbox`` keyword argument takes a
dictionary with keys that are Patch properties.
"""
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
np.random.seed(19680801)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
x = 30*np.random.randn(10000)
mu = x.mean()
median = np.median(x)
sigma = x.std()
textstr = '\n'.join((
r'$\mu=%.2f$' % (mu, ),
r'$\mathrm{median}=%.2f$' % (median, ),
r'$\sigma=%.2f$' % (sigma, )))
ax.hist(x, 50)
# these are matplotlib.patch.Patch properties
props = dict(boxstyle='round', facecolor='wheat', alpha=0.5)
# place a text box in upper left in axes coords
ax.text(0.05, 0.95, textstr, transform=ax.transAxes, fontsize=14,
verticalalignment='top', bbox=props)
plt.show()
