You can do this using offsets -- see
matplotlib.axis.XTick._get_text1. This is how tick labeling is done
(a point offset from an x location in data coords and a y location in
axis coords). Here is an example -- you have to copy the default data
transform so that the offset doesn't affect the figure data
from matplotlib.transforms import Value,
translation_transform,blend_xy_sep_transform
from pylab import figure, show
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
points = 7
pad = fig.dpi*Value(points/72.0)
# poor man's copy
trans = blend_xy_sep_transform(ax.transData, ax.transData)
# to the left and above
offset = translation_transform(Value(-1)*pad, pad)
trans.set_offset( (0,0), offset)
ax.plot([1,2,3])
t = ax.text(1,2, 'hi', transform=trans)
show()
