[Matplotlib-users] background color of text plots as foreground

[Mark B. <ma...@gm...>]

Hello list,

I am trying to set the backgroundcolor of a textbox:

from pylab import *
plot([1, 2, 3])
text(1, 2, 'Hello', backgroundcolor = 'red')

This plots a nice red box but no text. It looks like the backgroundcolor is
set as the foreground. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? mpl
version 1.4.3

Thanks, Mark
