Hi, Has anyone ever thought about creating a TextCollection class? The purpose would be similar to the other collections, to group a bunch of text objects with similar properties. This probably couldn't inherit from Collection as of now though, since Collection assumes things like edgecolor and facecolor. The bigger question to me is, could the backends make use of this to any improvement? Or would this simply serve as an API to eliminate having to loop yourself (which would pretty much make this useless).
My own personal use case is (once again) in meteorology, where we do station plots. This involves printing the actual value of observed variables relative to the location of the station. This isn't hard to do right now (especially since I have offset_copy back, thanks Mike!). I just wasn't sure if the batch functionality of a Collection might serve some purpose to the users at large. Thoughts?
