[Matplotlib-users] Use a marker symbol in a text string

[Alejandro W. <ale...@gm...>]

Hi:

I want to use the symbol corresponding to a marker in a text
annotation. Something like

textstr = 'This is the square marker: ?'
ax.text(0.05, 0.95, textstr)

Is there something I can place where the question mark is above to get
the actual square (or any other of the symbols you can use as a
marker)?

This is similar to what the legend command does, but I need more flexibility.

Alejandro.
