[Matplotlib-users] Box around text

[Carol L. <car...@sr...>]

I want to make a semi-transparent box around the text labels along the 
radial axis of a polar plot.  Is there a method that returns the 
coordinates of a box that encloses the text?

I see that a text instance has a method called get_window_extent.  What 
does it return?  What would I use for the parameter 'renderer'?  Are 
there any examples showing how to use this?
