Hello!
Is it possible to add a bbox behind a clabel, like one can do with a plt.text or something that would look similar?
Best regards,
Andres
The clable command returns a list of Text instances.
You need call set_bbox method for each of them.
tl = clabel(...)
for t in tl:
t.set_bbox(dict(fc="y"))
For clabels, which are often rotated, it may better to use fancy box
style (the default bbox is not rotated even though the text is).
t.set_bbox(dict(boxstyle="round",fc="y"))

Thank You,
but now I have another little annoying issue. Besides clabel I add some text manually to my plot with plt.text and sometimes the clabel and plt.text overlap, and no matter in which order I plot them, the string from clabel is always above the one from plt.text, but I would like, if the manually added text would be more visible.
So, is there a way to prevent the clabel text from appearing above other text in my plot? I can make a little workaround by getting clabel coordinates and then trying to guess if they overlap with my text and then set the particular clabel invisible. But at the moment it seems I need to do additional calculations to get the actual size of text boxes and maybe there is a more elegant solution, still?
Best regards,
Andres

please define "more visible".
Maybe adjusting the zorder is sufficient?
If not, I would adjust the clable position manually (of course, this
is not a good choice if you need to do this for a lot of plots).
I'm not sure if there are more elegant solutions.

Thank You once more, zorder is good but I also found the solution I was really looking for.
Combination of get_window_extent and count_overlaps lets easily find overlapping text and just set clabels invisible. I add an example (modified from contour_demo.py) for future reference, if anyone is interested.
Best regards,
Andres
