Is there a way to add the coordinates in text form to each plus in the

ERach plus in the plot is generated by
plot([data[-1].real],[data[-1].imag],'k+')For example the rightmost plus (in the upper right half plane) should
have a text (1.049+0.692j)
Can I use text for this purpose ?You can use text, but I suggest you use the brand-spanking-new
annotate function, which is designed to annotate data points with
text. It has support for arrows, and offsets from the annotated point
in a variety of coordinate systems.Here is an example that shows annotations in a variety of contexts
"""
Some examples of how to annotate points in figures. You specify an
annotation point xy=(x,y) and a text point xytext=(x,y) for the
annotated points and text location, respectively. Optionally, you can
specify the coordinate system of xy and xytext with one of the
following strings for xycoords and textcoords (default is 'data')'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' : 0,1 is lower left of axes and 1,1 is upper right
'data' : use the axes data coordinate systemOptionally, you can specify arrow properties which draws and arrow
from the text to the annotated point by giving a dictionary of arrow
propertiesValid keys are
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 from the
annotated point and text
any key for matplotlib.patches.polygon (eg facecolor)For physical coordinate systems (points or pixels) the origin is the
(bottom, left) of the figure or axes. If the value is negative,
however, the origin is from the (right, top) of the figure or axes,
analogous to negative indexing of sequences.

Hi John,
Thank you very much for your note !
How can I control the number of digits in the output (image.png) ?
I would like to have four digits for the real part and four digits for
the imaginary part.
And how can I suppress small numbers ?
plot([data[-1].real],[data[-1].imag],'k+')
annotate(str(data[-1]),xy=(data[-1].real,data[-1].imag),xycoords='data')
