Figure-space text

fig.text(x, y, s) places text at figure-fraction coordinates – (0, 0) bottom-left, (1, 1) top-right – independent of any axes’ data coordinates. Handy for a watermark or a caption that shouldn’t move with the plotted data.

Live figure — pick a tool, then zoom, pan, point-pick or annotate. Nothing is active until a tool is selected.
