This code is known to be broken (and never worked). John Porter's
code originally worked as an add-on module to matplotlib. Since then
TextWithDash has been refactored which broke mplot3d. I've been
planning to refactor the code to make it work internally, eg like the
rest of pylab, but haven't gotten it done yet.
