Try updating matplotlib, the last version should not lead to this error

I'm working on Colab so i'm not supposed to make any down/update... I think...

But, I tried a LOT of modifications and nothing works... I'm trying to understand the error and analyzing the source code but i never found where and what is the 's' argument...

I guess there's a better solution to this, but i had the same problem on colab too and a
!pip install --upgrade matplotlib
solved it for me

@vittoema96 @faustomorales

a = mtext.Annotation(text, xy, *args, **kwargs)
a.set_transform(mtransforms.IdentityTransform())
if 'clip_on' in kwargs:
