I meant to be copying an annotation example from
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/annotation_demo.bak.py
but it is not working. Am I just too bleary eyed because it
is later here, or is there a problem with the example?
Thank you,
Alan Isaac

I don't see much resemblance to that example; and I haven't tried that example, but I did verify that the examples/annotation_demo.py in svn works as expected.

Time for bed, rest those bleary eyes...
The signature of the Annotation.__init__ does not match what you were trying to feed it. Here is a modification that does match, but that may not be anything like what you were trying to do:
import pylab
import matplotlib as mpl
test = pylab.figure()
test_ax = test.gca()
test_ax.plot([1,2,3])
a = mpl.text.Annotation(
'F: a figure title (points)',
(-10, -10),
xycoords='figure points',
horizontalalignment='right',
verticalalignment='top',
fontsize=20)
test_ax.add_artist(a)
test.savefig('temp.eps')

OK, I can see that at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.text.html
So then the examples *are* wrong at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/annotation_demo.bak.py
Right?
Your example is sending me down the right track.
But I am still getting an odd result with
a = mpl.text.Annotation('text', (0.5,0.5), xycoords="axes fraction", fontsize=20)
fig_ax.add_artist(a)
Shouldn't this put the text smack in the middle of the figure?
OK, I give up for now. Time for some sleep.
Thanks!
Alan
