I would like to put on the lower right corner of my plots a notification text string, typically citing the the “data source : date of production”
Although I can put text using
annotate!(xpos, ypos, "my text", :color)
it is presently missing some needed options for which I didn’t manage to find a solution either going through the Plots.jl documentation or searching discourse.
What I’m looking for is:
- how to change the font used (presently by default it’s way too big)
- how to make it right aligned.
N.B. all this is possible by using PyPlot directly, but I want to move away from that to a more Julian-like and consistent way of doing.
I’d appreciate some help.
All the best,
Rob
annotate!(xpos, ypos, text("mytext", :red, :right, 3))
The text
constructor is “magic” so the order of the various arguments isn’t important.

Thanks Mike,
-
with the gr() backend that does the trick! THANKS.
-
however when using the pgfsplots() backend (which is the one I usually employ), one cannot annotate below the x-axis, nor change the font-size
Can I bother you for how to change the font to “Courier”, “Sans” for instance (again I do not manage to extract this from the docs, nor ? or methods(text) get me any furher)?
Best,
Rob.
It should all be here http://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/examples/pgfplots/#annotations
The example actually uses courier.
One thing to consider if you’re using pgfplots because you’re embedding in LaTeX. Consider savefig("myfigure.tex")
, the resulting figure should take fonts and stuff from the latex document.
