A dictionary to override the default text properties.
Matplotlib vertical line with text.
November 24 2019 updated.
Conclusion of drawing horizontal and vertical lines in matplotlib in this tutorial we will introduce two methods to draw horizontal and vertical lines in matplotlib.
Hlines and vlines to plot horizontal and vertical line in matplotlib.
Adding a title to the plot.
By default this is in data coordinates.
Axes annotation takes an argument rotation to allow a text label to be rotated and a naive implementation might be as follows.
Should be between 0 and 1 0 being the bottom of the plot 1 the top of the plot.
Ymax scalar optional default.
Text is dealt with at this object level so a line of text can be given a specific font size style and colour.
The underlying object that handles text is matplotlib text text ensuring that all text handling methods are consistent.
Should be between 0 and 1 0 being the bottom of the plot 1 the top of the plot.
The position to place the text.
Should be between 0 and 1 0 being the bottom of the plot 1 the top of the plot.
Sometimes it is necessary to rotate a text annotation in a matplotlib figure so that it is aligned with a line plotted on the figure axes.
Adding titles to the x and y axis.
Example plot with grid lines.
The coordinate system can be changed using the transform parameter.
An annotation is a text that can refer to a specific position xy.
X position in data coordinates of the vertical line.
Small additional suggestion say you want to label your line in the legend so that it has some meaning or take advantage of some of the easy to use options in plot then using hold the ylim from the current axis and the repmat is very useful.
If fontdict is none the defaults are determined by rcparams.
You can also make multiple vertical lines with some spacing using this technique.
Should be between 0 and 1 0 being the bottom of the plot 1 the top of the plot.
Import matplotlib pyplot as plt the data x 1 2 3 4 y 234 124 368 343.
X position in data coordinates of the vertical line.
The created text instance.
The major items we use text for on a plot are.
