Adding Text to a Plot

In this lesson, we will learn how to add text to a plot, and how to change the style of the text.

What is text?

Text is basically a simpler version of annotate. Unlike annotate, we don’t need to anchor our text to one specific data location. The text feature is useful when we want to add some text to a diagram without linking it to any specified data. For example, if we want to present some textual information or provide an explanation.

Although the purpose of text is simple, it is a rich feature. Just like with annotate, we can control the appearance of the text by setting a number of options, most of which are related to presentation style. Some of the most common options will be introduced in this lesson.
