dear Plots wizards—how do I set the font (size) of annotations?

```julia
using Plots
y= 2:20; x=2:20; f(x,y)=x+y;
annotations= [(x[i],y[j],round(f(x[i],y[j]),digits=2)) for i=1:length(x) for j=1:length(y)];
plot( ; annotations= annotations, xlim=[first(x)-1,last(x)+1], ylim=[first(y)-1,last(y)+1] )

```

I got this from the docs for plots.

[http://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/examples/pyplot/#annotations](http://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/examples/pyplot/#annotations)

I changed the last element of each tuple to be a `Plots.text` object in in the way I wanted it.

```julia
t = [(x[1], x[2], text(x[3], 5) for x in annotations]
plot( ; annotations= t, xlim=[first(x)-1,last(x)+1], ylim=[first(y)-1,last(y)+1])

```

this is interesting. we are using `Plots.jl` and not PyPlots, but the docs were still helpful. I did not realize that I should look there…

This script is missing a closing parenthesis in the line defining `t`. It should be:

```julia
...
t = [(x[1], x[2], text(x[3], 5)) for x in annotations]
...

```
