Re: [Matplotlib-users] plot with drop shadow

[Mike H. <mh...@us...>]

The long answer is:  I have a map with a varying background.  I'd like to 
be able to create a white drop-shadow behind darker text, so that the text 
can stand out reasonably clearly against most colored backgrounds.

The short answer is that my customers want it.

Out of curiosity, what is the payoff
(in communication or aesthetics)
of such a thing?

Thanks,
