matplotlib.pyplot.text   matplotlib.pyplot.text(x, y, s, fontdict=None, **kwargs)[source]
 
Add text to the Axes. Add the text s to the Axes at location x, y in data coordinates.  Parameters 
 
x, yfloat


The position to place the text. By default, this is in data coordinates. The coordinate system can be changed using the transform parameter.  
sstr


The text.  
fontdictdict, default: None


A dictionary to override the default text properties. If fontdict is None, the defaults are determined by rcParams.    Returns 
 Text

The created Text instance.    Other Parameters 
 
**kwargsText properties.


Other miscellaneous text parameters.   
Property Description   
agg_filter a filter function, which takes a (m, n, 3) float array and a dpi value, and returns a (m, n, 3) array  
alpha scalar or None  
animated bool  
backgroundcolor color  
bbox dict with properties for patches.FancyBboxPatch  
clip_box unknown  
clip_on unknown  
clip_path unknown  
color or c color

fontfamily or family {FONTNAME, 'serif', 'sans-serif', 'cursive', 'fantasy', 'monospace'}  
fontproperties or font or font_properties font_manager.FontProperties or str or pathlib.Path  
fontsize or size float or {'xx-small', 'x-small', 'small', 'medium', 'large', 'x-large', 'xx-large'}  
fontstretch or stretch {a numeric value in range 0-1000, 'ultra-condensed', 'extra-condensed', 'condensed', 'semi-condensed', 'normal', 'semi-expanded', 'expanded', 'extra-expanded', 'ultra-expanded'}  
fontstyle or style {'normal', 'italic', 'oblique'}  
fontvariant or variant {'normal', 'small-caps'}  
fontweight or weight {a numeric value in range 0-1000, 'ultralight', 'light', 'normal', 'regular', 'book', 'medium', 'roman', 'semibold', 'demibold', 'demi', 'bold', 'heavy', 'extra bold', 'black'}  
gid str  
horizontalalignment or ha {'center', 'right', 'left'}  
in_layout bool

linespacing float (multiple of font size)  
math_fontfamily str  
multialignment or ma {'left', 'right', 'center'}  
parse_math bool

sketch_params (scale: float, length: float, randomness: float)  
snap bool or None  
text object  
transform Transform  
transform_rotates_text bool  
url str  
usetex bool or None  
verticalalignment or va {'center', 'top', 'bottom', 'baseline', 'center_baseline'}  
visible bool  
wrap bool  
x float  
y float  
zorder float       Examples Individual keyword arguments can be used to override any given parameter: >>> text(x, y, s, fontsize=12)
 The default transform specifies that text is in data coords, alternatively, you can specify text in axis coords ((0, 0) is lower-left and (1, 1) is upper-right). The example below places text in the center of the Axes: >>> text(0.5, 0.5, 'matplotlib', horizontalalignment='center',
...      verticalalignment='center', transform=ax.transAxes)
 You can put a rectangular box around the text instance (e.g., to set a background color) by using the keyword bbox. bbox is a dictionary of Rectangle properties. For example: >>> text(x, y, s, bbox=dict(facecolor='red', alpha=0.5))
