One possibility is to offer a mode whereby the font size for the annotations is fixed. It is then much easier to figure out how large a particular annotation must be before laying out the graph. That ought to make it much easier to leave enough room for axis labels and such. Ideally in this mode the automatic layout would be improved so that axis labels were always visible. But even if that was a planned feature that was not initially implemented, having fixed font size would allow users to more easily lay things out as desired. -- Russell |

Glad to hear that others find that code useful. I just want to emphasize that this is not a general solution and never meant to. Although I'm planning to include this functionality into the axes_grid1 toolkit, I don't think this will be integrated with the main matplolib.

figtext will let you place text relative to the figure, not the axes: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.figtext Cheers, Mike On 05/13/2011 08:46 AM, Johannes Radinger wrote: > Hej > > > I want to include a mathematical expression but want to position it > outside the graphs box.

Hello again I tried:
plt.figtext(0, 1.2, r'$F(x)=p*\frac{1}{s1\sqrt{2\pi}}$', fontsize=20)
but then the text is outside the printed area and therefore not displayed.
Does that mean that the printed area has to be changed as well?

The first two parameters are the x and y coordinates of the text,
in range [0, 1]. Adjust them to put the text inside the figure.

How is the space between the axis and the outer margins of a figure defined?
How much space is between the upper most plot and the upper end of the figure?
This is the space e.g for the titles etc. but can this be space be increased?
Or how can a some text be placed above the axis but with a lot of space?
I hope it is now clearer...
