Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical - mathematical extension for NumPy library. Pyplot is a state-based interface to a Matplotlib module which provides a MATLAB-like interface.

matplotlib.pyplot.annotate() Function

The annotate() function in pyplot module of matplotlib library is used to annotate the point xy with text s.
Syntax: angle_spectrum(x, Fs=2, Fc=0, window=mlab.window_hanning, pad_to=None, sides='default', **kwargs) Parameters: This method accept the following parameters that are described below:
  • s: This parameter is the text of the annotation.
  • xy: This parameter is the point (x, y) to annotate.
  • xytext: This parameter is an optional parameter. It is The position (x, y) to place the text at.
  • xycoords: This parameter is also an optional parameter and contains the string value.
  • textcoords: This parameter contains the string value.Coordinate system that xytext is given, which may be different than the coordinate system used for xy
  • arrowprops : This parameter is also an optional parameter and contains dict type.Its default value is None.
  • annotation_clip : This parameter is also an optional parameter and contains boolean value.Its default value is None which behaves as True.
Returns: This method returns the annotation.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.pyplot.annotate() function in matplotlib.pyplot: Example #1: Python3 1==
# Implementation of matplotlib.pyplot.annotate() # function import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np fig, geeeks = plt.subplots() t = np.arange(0.0, 5.0, 0.001) s = np.cos(3 * np.pi * t) line = geeeks.plot(t, s, lw = 2) # Annotation geeeks.annotate('Local Max', xy =(3.3, 1),  xytext =(3, 1.8),   arrowprops = dict(facecolor ='green',  shrink = 0.05),) geeeks.set_ylim(-2, 2) # Plot the Annotation in the graph plt.show() 
Output: Example #2: Python3 1==
# Implementation of matplotlib.pyplot.annotate() # function import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = np.arange(0, 10, 0.005) y = np.exp(-x / 3.) * np.sin(3 * np.pi * x) fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.plot(x, y) ax.set_xlim(0, 10) ax.set_ylim(-1, 1) # Setting up the parameters xdata, ydata = 5, 0 xdisplay, ydisplay = ax.transData.transform((xdata, ydata)) bbox = dict(boxstyle ="round", fc ="0.8") arrowprops = dict(  arrowstyle = "->",  connectionstyle = "angle, angleA = 0, angleB = 90,\  rad = 10") offset = 72 # Annotation ax.annotate('data = (%.1f, %.1f)'%(xdata, ydata),  (xdata, ydata), xytext =(-2 * offset, offset),  textcoords ='offset points',  bbox = bbox, arrowprops = arrowprops) disp = ax.annotate('display = (%.1f, %.1f)'%(xdisplay, ydisplay),  (xdisplay, ydisplay), xytext =(0.5 * offset, -offset),  xycoords ='figure pixels',  textcoords ='offset points',  bbox = bbox, arrowprops = arrowprops) # To display the annotation plt.show()
