"text positioning with transforms" example (figure 2.4) should perhaps normalize dx, dy by 72, not by fig.dpi about scientific-visualization-book HOT 7 CLOSED

You're right! Could you make a PR (for both book content and script)?

from scientific-visualization-book.

Can I leave that to you? :) Especially as I think (as noted above) there are some editorial decisions as to how to handle the redundancy with figure 2.5.

from scientific-visualization-book.

Sure. Note that it's not really redundant with figure 2.5 since in that case I use a blended transform to mix data/figue coordinate.

Closed by 8d14fc2, afaict. Thanks :)

@rougier I recently realized that these examples can be implemented much more simply by using annotate(), which effectively provides a specialized version of ScaledTranslation; see https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/25905/files.
Clearly I think in the book the example with ScaledTranslation should stay at least for pedagogical purposes, but it's up to you whether you want to also mention the "easier" version with annotate().

Oh thanks for the ref, I did not think of it and I confirm it would be worth a mention in the text. Do you want to make a PR?

from scientific-visualization-book.

I'd rather leave the word-smithing to you :)
