BAR(left, height, width, bottom,<br>

detrend_linear or a custom function. For windowing, you can use<br>
window_none, window_hanning, or a custom function<br>

Note, the behavior of meshgrid in matlab is a bit<br>
counterintuitive for x and y arrays. For example,<br>

<a href="#Axes-pcolor">pcolor</a>(X, Y, Z)<br>

Likewise, for nonsquare Z,<br>

<dl><dt><a name="Subplot-text"><strong>text</strong></a>(self, x, y, text, fontdict<font color="#909090">=None</font>, **kwargs)</dt><dd><tt>Add text to axis at location x,y (data coords)<br>
<br>
fontdict is a dictionary to override the default text properties.<br>
If fontdict is None, the default is<br>
<br>
If len(args) the override dictionary will be:<br>
<br>
'fontsize' : 10,<br>
'verticalalignment' : 'bottom',<br>
'horizontalalignment' : 'left'<br>
<br>
<br>
**kwargs can in turn be used to override the override, as in<br>
<br>
a.<a href="#Subplot-text">text</a>(x,y,label, fontsize=12)<br>
<br>
will have verticalalignment=bottom and<br>
horizontalalignment=left but will have a fontsize of 12<br>
<br>
<br>
The Text defaults are<br>
'color' : 'k',<br>
'fontname' : 'Sans',<br>
'fontsize' : 10,<br>
'fontweight' : 'bold',<br>
'fontangle' : 'normal',<br>
'horizontalalignment' : 'left'<br>
'rotation' : 'horizontal',<br>
'verticalalignment' : 'bottom',<br>
'transx' : self.<strong>xaxis</strong>.transData,<br>
'transy' : self.<strong>yaxis</strong>.transData, <br>
<br>
transx and transy specify that text is in data coords,<br>
alternatively, you can specify text in axis coords (0,0 lower<br>
left and 1,1 upper right). The example below places text in<br>
the center of the axes<br>
<br>
ax = subplot(111)<br>
<a href="#Subplot-text">text</a>(0.5, 0.5,'matplotlib', <br>

verticalalignment='center',<br>
transx = ax.xaxis.transAxis,<br>
transy = ax.yaxis.transAxis,<br>
