[matplotlib-devel] Text Alignment Issue with Anchored Text

[Patrick M. <pat...@gm...>]

Greetings,

I came across what I would consider an interesting text bug when using
AnchoredText. In summary, when trying to pass a horizontal alignment to the
text, anything but 'left' doesn't work. The text gets positioned around the
left-edge of the text space (left spine of text box + padding). This occurs
both with the "normal" plotting and the ImageGrid.

I went ahead and filed an issue, but didn't know if someone who doesn't'
check the issues list might have a work around. The git issue has a sample
script and image to illustrate the issue.

I'm not sure if this is a continuation of the issues reported in
Issue #1571 <https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1571>
Pull Request #1081 <https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1081>
Pull Request #1589 <https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1589>

I'm in the midst of my dissertation, so I don't have the time right now to
dig into this. If no one else can, I'll take a crack at it in a couple
months when I'm done.



Cheers,
Patrick
