Text going outside subplot with multiple axes

[diogolr]

System:

• Windows 7
• Qt 5.4.0
• Python 3.4.2
• PyQt 5.4
• Matplotlib 1.4.2

Any idea?

What I'm doing...

1. Configuring multiple axes with twiny
2. Configuring the axes color, ticks, patch.set_visible( False )...
3. Plotting some stuff on the axes previously configured
4. Putting some text on the first created axe
5. Catching the scroll event and using event.step times a factor with set_ylim of the axes
6. Redrawing the canvas

With out code, there is really nothing we can do to help you. Can you put together a minimal working example that shows the problem? My guess is that you are not keeping your y-axis in sync or have turned clipping off on you text objects.

This question might be better suited from the user maling list as well.

I happened to run into the same issue today. Python 2.7.8, Matplotlib 1.4.0, MacOS 10.9.5. MWE below.

from pylab import *
f, (ax1, ax2) = subplots(2, 1)
ax2.text(20, 150, "If this appears on the top subplot, something's amiss...")
ax2.scatter([20, 40], [20, 80])
show()

ok, so what you want is clipping? Could you try adding "clip_on=True" as an
argument to the ax2.text() call?

You're quite right. That solves it. I included clip_on in my fontdict instead of as a kwarg when testing. Thanks.

from pylab import *
f, (ax1, ax2) = subplots(2, 1)
ax2.text(20, 150, "Using tools the way they were meant to be used.", clip_on=True)
ax2.scatter([20, 40], [20, 80])
show()

That option needs to be better documented, I think. Glad that worked!

The clip_on flag also works for me! Thank you very much.
