Hi, All,
Here's an update to the problem I submitted last night.
I was able to utilize anchored text to work for centering a title, which is
ultimately what I'm wanting to do now. (Although, I'd still like to know
the proper way to get the axes bounds when using axes_divider). The new
problem lies how to horizontally align the text inside the anchored box.
When the horizontal alignment is "left", the text lines up in the anchored
box. However, as the updated example below shows, then you use "center" or
"right", the text is now positioned outside the anchored box. Is this a
bug in how the text is aligned? If so, how might I go about tracking it
down?

Cheers,
Patrick
