Annotations - negative points and pixels don't wrap

Hi. The docs for Annotation [1] say that negative coordinates given for [ figure | axes ] [ points | pixels ] xycoords are to be interpreted relative to the top-right corner, but I found that they act relative to the bottom-left corner as for positive coordinates. This can be seen in the attached script and in the annotation_demo.py example [2], where the string “bottom right (points)” bleeds off the left edge of the figure.

I believe this was recently introduced when I refactored the annotation code.
Attached is a preliminary fix. So, please test it if you can.
Since the change during the refactoring was rather significant, I'm
not 100% sure if this will restore the old behavior without affecting
the new functionality. The examples I tried (including yours) seem to
work fine. I'll test this myself a few more days, and commit to the
svn.

I personally think it is better to use "offset points" for these cases
which makes the internal logic much simpler.

Thank you. Your fix seems to do the trick.

I can see that, and that's what I was using as a work-around.

The patch is applied to the maintenance branch (r8846) and the trunk (r8847).
