+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        x, y : float
+            The position to place the text. By default, this is in figure
+            coordinates, floats in [0, 1]. The coordinate system can be changed
+            using the *transform* keyword.
+
+        s : str
+            The text string.
 
-          text(x, y, s, fontdict=None, **kwargs)
+        fontdict : dictionary, optional, default: None
+            A dictionary to override the default text properties. If fontdict
+            is None, the defaults are determined by your rc parameters. A
+            property in *kwargs* override the same property in fontdict.
 
-        Add text to figure at location *x*, *y* (relative 0-1
-        coords). See :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.text` for the meaning
-        of the other arguments.
+        withdash : boolean, optional, default: False
+            Creates a `~matplotlib.text.TextWithDash` instance instead of a
+            `~matplotlib.text.Text` instance.
+
+        Other Parameters
+        ----------------
+        **kwargs : `~matplotlib.text.Text` properties
+            Other miscellaneous text parameters.
