How to add a text into a Rectangle?
I think you need to use the annotate method of your axes object.
You can use properties of the rectangle to be smart about it. Here's a toy example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as pltimport matplotlib.patches as mpatchfig, ax = plt.subplots()rectangles = {'skinny' : mpatch.Rectangle((2,2), 8, 2), 'square' : mpatch.Rectangle((4,6), 6, 6)}for r in rectangles: ax.add_artist(rectangles[r]) rx, ry = rectangles[r].get_xy() cx = rx + rectangles[r].get_width()/2.0 cy = ry + rectangles[r].get_height()/2.0 ax.annotate(r, (cx, cy), color='w', weight='bold', fontsize=6, ha='center', va='center')ax.set_xlim((0, 15))ax.set_ylim((0, 15))ax.set_aspect('equal')plt.show()
