[Matplotlib-users] Align Text (Relative)

[Andrew K. <ndr...@gm...>]

I am currently using the annotate() method for my data points and I was
curious if there is a way to center a line of text relative to a line of
text below it.  I am currently using two annotate() function calls in a row
(I need the text to be different colors) but I need the first one to act as
a title for the second (i.e. so I want it centered relative to the one
below.)  I have tried to use the length of the second bit of text to center
but I just cannot seem to do it.  The code looks sort of like this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
.......
annotateTitle='Title'
annotateText='Blah, Blah, Blah'
plt.annotate(annotateTitle, xy=(1,1), xytext=(20,50), xycoords='data',
textcoords='offset points')
plt.annotate(annotateText, xy=(1,1), xytext=(20,20), xycoords='data',
textcoords='offset points', size='small', color='black')

Any ideas?
