The uses of the basic
text()
will place textat an arbitrary position on the Axes. A common use case of text is toannotate some feature of the plot, and theannotate()
method provides helper functionalityto make annotations easy. In an annotation, there are two points toconsider: the location being annotated represented by the argumentxy and the location of the text xytext. Both of thesearguments are (x,y)
tuples.In this example, both the xy (arrow tip) and xytext locations(text location) are in data coordinates. There are a variety of othercoordinate systems one can choose -- you can specify the coordinatesystem of xy and xytext with one of the following strings forxycoords and textcoords (default is 'data')
argument | coordinate system |
---|---|
'figure points' | points from the lower left corner of the figure |
'figure pixels' | pixels from the lower left corner of the figure |
'figure fraction' | (0, 0) is lower left of figure and (1, 1) is upper right |
'axes points' | points from lower left corner of axes |
'axes pixels' | pixels from lower left corner of axes |
'axes fraction' | (0, 0) is lower left of axes and (1, 1) is upper right |
'data' | use the axes data coordinate system |
For example to place the text coordinates in fractional axescoordinates, one could do:
For physical coordinate systems (points or pixels) the origin is thebottom-left of the figure or axes.
Optionally, you can enable drawing of an arrow from the text to the annotatedpoint by giving a dictionary of arrow properties in the optional keywordargument arrowprops.
arrowprops key | description |
---|---|
width | the width of the arrow in points |
frac | the fraction of the arrow length occupied by the head |
headwidth | the width of the base of the arrow head in points |
shrink | move the tip and base some percent away fromthe annotated point and text |
**kwargs | any key for matplotlib.patches.Polygon ,e.g., facecolor |
In the example below, the xy point is in native coordinates(xycoords defaults to 'data'). For a polar axes, this is in(theta, radius) space. The text in this example is placed in thefractional figure coordinate system.
matplotlib.text.Text
keyword arguments like horizontalalignment, verticalalignment andfontsize are passed from annotate
to theText
instance.Annotation Polar¶

takes a bbox keyword argument, which draws a box around thetext:The patch object associated with the text can be accessed by:
The return value is a

; patch properties(facecolor, edgewidth, etc.) can be accessed and modified as usual.FancyBboxPatch.set_boxstyle
sets the box shape:The arguments are the name of the box style with its attributes askeyword arguments. Currently, following box styles are implemented.

annotate
draws an arrow connecting two points in an axes:This annotates a point at xy in the given coordinate (xycoords)with the text at xytext given in textcoords. Often, theannotated point is specified in the data coordinate and the annotatingtext in offset points.See
annotate
for available coordinate systems.An arrow connecting xy to xytext can be optionally drawn byspecifying the arrowprops argument. To draw only an arrow, useempty string as the first argument.
Annotate Simple01¶
The arrow is drawn as follows:
- A path connecting the two points is created, as specified by theconnectionstyle parameter.
- The path is clipped to avoid patches patchA and patchB, if these areset.
- The path is further shrunk by shrinkA and shrinkB (in pixels).
- The path is transmuted to an arrow patch, as specified by the arrowstyleparameter.
The creation of the connecting path between two points is controlled by
connectionstyle
key and the following styles are available.Name | Attrs |
---|---|
angle | angleA=90,angleB=0,rad=0.0 |
angle3 | angleA=90,angleB=0 |
arc | angleA=0,angleB=0,armA=None,armB=None,rad=0.0 |
arc3 | rad=0.0 |
bar | armA=0.0,armB=0.0,fraction=0.3,angle=None |
Note that '3' in
angle3
and arc3
is meant to indicate that theresulting path is a quadratic spline segment (three controlpoints). As will be discussed below, some arrow style options can onlybe used when the connecting path is a quadratic spline.The behavior of each connection style is (limitedly) demonstrated in theexample below. (Warning: The behavior of the
bar
style is currently notwell defined, it may be changed in the future).The connecting path (after clipping and shrinking) is then mutated toan arrow patch, according to the given
arrowstyle

Some arrowstyles only work with connection styles that generate aquadratic-spline segment. They are
fancy
, simple
, and wedge
.For these arrow styles, you must use the 'angle3' or 'arc3' connectionstyle.If the annotation string is given, the patchA is set to the bbox patchof the text by default.
Inet network scanner v1 3 9. Annotate Simple02¶
As with
text
, a box around the text can be drawn using the bboxargument.By default, the starting point is set to the center of the textextent. This can be adjusted with
relpos
key value. The valuesare normalized to the extent of the text. For example, (0, 0) meanslower-left corner and (1, 1) means top-right.Annotate Simple04¶
There are classes of artists that can be placed at an anchoredlocation in the Axes. A common example is the legend. This typeof artist can be created by using the
OffsetBox
class. A fewpredefined classes are available in matplotlib.offsetbox
and inmpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.anchored_artists
.Anchored Box01¶
The loc keyword has same meaning as in the legend command.
A simple application is when the size of the artist (or collection ofartists) is known in pixel size during the time of creation. Forexample, If you want to draw a circle with fixed size of 20 pixel x 20pixel (radius = 10 pixel), you can utilize
AnchoredDrawingArea
. The instance is created with a size of thedrawing area (in pixels), and arbitrary artists can added to thedrawing area. Note that the extents of the artists that are added tothe drawing area are not related to the placement of the drawingarea itself. Only the initial size matters.The artists that are added to the drawing area should not have atransform set (it will be overridden) and the dimensions of thoseartists are interpreted as a pixel coordinate, i.e., the radius of thecircles in above example are 10 pixels and 5 pixels, respectively.
Anchored Box02¶
Sometimes, you want your artists to scale with the data coordinate (orcoordinates other than canvas pixels). You can use
AnchoredAuxTransformBox
class. This is similar toAnchoredDrawingArea
except that the extent of the artist isdetermined during the drawing time respecting the specified transform.The ellipse in the above example will have width and heightcorresponding to 0.1 and 0.4 in data coordinates and will beautomatically scaled when the view limits of the axes change.

Anchored Box03¶
As in the legend, the bbox_to_anchor argument can be set. Using theHPacker and VPacker, you can have an arrangement(?) of artist as in thelegend (as a matter of fact, this is how the legend is created).
Note that unlike the legend, the
bbox_transform
is setto IdentityTransform by default.The Annotation in matplotlib supports several types of coordinates asdescribed in Basic annotation. For an advanced user who wantsmore control, it supports a few other options.
Annotation 2020-05
- A
Transform
instance. For example,is identical toThis allows annotating a point in another axes: - An
Artist
instance. The xy value (or xytext) is interpreted as afractional coordinate of the bbox (return value of get_window_extent) ofthe artist:Annotation with Simple Coordinates¶Note that you must ensure that the extent of the coordinate artist (an1 inabove example) is determined before an2 gets drawn. Usually, this meansthat an2 needs to be drawn after an1. - A callable object that takes the renderer instance as single argument, andreturns either a
Transform
or aBboxBase
. The return value is thenhandled as in (1), for transforms, or in (2), for bboxes. For example,is identical to: - A pair of coordinate specifications -- the first for the x-coordinate, andthe second is for the y-coordinate; e.g.Here, 0.5 is in data coordinates, and 1 is in normalized axes coordinates.Each of the coordinate specifications can also be an artist or a transform.For example,Annotation with Simple Coordinates 2¶
- Sometimes, you want your annotation with some 'offset points', not from theannotated point but from some other point.
text.OffsetFrom
is a helperfor such cases.You may take a look at this exampleAnnotating Plots.
ConnectionPatch is like an annotation without text. While
annotate
is sufficient in most situations, ConnectionPatch is useful when you want toconnect points in different axes.The above code connects point xy in the data coordinates of
ax1
topoint xy in the data coordinates of ax2
. Here is a simple example.Connect Simple01¶
Here, we added the ConnectionPatch to the figure (with
add_artist
)rather than to either axes: this ensures that it is drawn on top of both axes,and is also necessary if using constrained_layout for positioning the axes.mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator
defines some patch classes useful forinterconnecting two axes. Understanding the code requires some knowledge ofMatplotlib's transform system.You can use a custom box style. The value for the
boxstyle
can be acallable object in the following forms.:Annotation 2020
Here is a complete example.
Custom Boxstyle01¶
Similarly, you can define a custom ConnectionStyle and a custom ArrowStyle.See the source code of
lib/matplotlib/patches.py
and checkhow each style class is defined.Keywords: matplotlib code example, codex, python plot, pyplotGallery generated by Sphinx-Gallery
