[Matplotlib-users] Label for axhline
Hi, I would like to add a label or tick label for an axhline(), in such a way that the labels follows the location of the hline. The x-coordinate of the label should be in screen coordinates (a little to the right of the plot) - but the y-coordinate should be in data coordinates. Any good suggestions?

Mads, I recommend trying a text object[1], with a transform which is a blended transform from a transform factory[2]. Also, you probably want the x coordinate in axes coordinates, with a left horizontal alignment. -Sterling [1] http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.text [2] http://matplotlib.org/users/transforms_tutorial.html#blended-transformations On Nov 28, 2012, at 4:27AM, Mads Ipsen wrote: Hi, I would like to add a label or tick label for an axhline(), in such a way that the labels follows the location of the hline.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Label for axhline
Sterling,
Thanks - I ended up adding an extra y-tick with minor=True. Something
along these lines:
# Add Fermi line
y = self._bandstructure.fermiLevel()
self._axes.axhline(y=y, linestyle=':')
# Add Fermi tick
tick = self._axes.set_yticks([y], minor=True)[0]
tick.label1On = False
tick.label2On = True
self._axes.set_yticklabels([r'$\epsilon_\mathrm{F}$'], minor=True,
fontsize=font_size*1.19,
verticalalignment='center')
Evil?
