I am getting a fault when I try to use Figure.draw_artist() with a matplotlib.text.Text object. Since matplotlib.text.Text inherits from matplotlib.artist.Artist, which is what draw_artist() takes, this should probably work.
Tested with latest SVN code on Linux.
Here is the traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 10, in <module>

And here is some simple code to trigger the bug:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# display bug in figure.draw_artist(matplotlib.text)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.text import Text
fig = plt.figure()
plt.draw()
textartist = Text(0.5, 0.5, "Foo")
fig.draw_artist(textartist)
plt.show()
#end code
Note that I still get the bug even when i specify figsize and dpi on the figure like so:
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(2,2), dpi=300)

This is not a bug.
The exception is raised simply because "textartist.figure" is None
(and it is None because you never set it).
"textartist" you created is not properly set up (no figure, no axes,
no transform). You may do
textartist = Text(0.5, 0.5, "Foo")
textartist.set_figure(fig)
fig.draw_artist(textartist)
fig.canvas.blit(fig.bbox)
But, this is not the recommended way of doing things.
draw_artist is mainly for doing animation.

I see. But why would I need to set the figure manually when I am drawing with a figure? Is it ever the case where you set one figure, but draw with another? For example:
textartist.set_figure(fig1)
fig2.draw_artist(textartist)
Also, other atists don't fail in this manner if I don't use artist.set_figure().

Figure.draw_artist is just a convenience function.
def draw_artist(self, a):
"""
draw :class:`matplotlib.artist.Artist` instance *a* only --
this is available only after the figure is drawn
"""
assert self._cachedRenderer is not None
a.draw(self._cachedRenderer)
And, all the drawing is done by the artist itself.
Also, other atists don't fail in this manner if I don't use artist.set_figure().
As far as I can see, it only means that you're lucky with other artists.
The reason Text artists needs a reference to the figure is to access
the dpi value, as the exception indicates.
All artists are meant to be added to an axes (or at least "axes",
"figure", etc. attributes set appropriately) to work correctly.
