Strange. When I saw your post my first thought was "hmmm, I didn't
know we had a text background color". I looked through the text.py
code and it is there as a property, but is totally unused. I don't
know who added it, but apparently someone got interrupted mid-code.
That someone could be me, but if anyone knows where this came from
speak up; otherwise it will be removed.
The bbox is the standard way to do this, and is a bit more general
since you can set the alpha, the linewidth, the edgecolor, etc...
ax.text(1,2,'hi mom', bbox=dict(facecolor='red'))
