Hi
Sometime ago i do something very similar jeje, a qt-matplotlib gui for http://freesteam.sourceforge.net/
using annotate: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.annotate
def plot_labels(self, x, y, label, angle=0):
self.axes2D.axes.annotate(label[i], (x[i], y[i]), rotation=angle[i], size=“xx-small”, horizontalalignment=“center”, verticalalignment=“center”))
in my case i only use rotation, initial position and alignment, but there are more options, like backgroundcolor to erase the line below
cheers, jj
