[Matplotlib-users] text element just above previous text element

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

I like to have 2 or 3 text elements "stacked" on top of each other on 
top of a bar.

Currently it works for the first text element by doing:

height = bar.get_height()
xCorr = bar.get_x()
yCorr = 0.20 + height

txtax = axes.text(xCorr, yCorr, hstr)

trying to add the second text just above the previous one I tried this:

pCorr = yCorr + txtax.get_size() + 0.4
txtax = axes.text(xCorr, pCorr, hstrPerc)

It looks like my problem is that get_x() returns a value in ticks and 
txtax.get_size() is in pixels and I can't find a way to get at the 
height of the text element in ticks.

Can anyone please push me in the right direction.
