Description
When specifying a transformation to plt.text, the rotational part of the transformation is ignored. I'm aware of the rotation keyword, but in my use case, I need some more fine-grained control.
Here's an example, in which a box and text receives the same transformation, but displays differently:
from matplotlib import patches, transforms
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
ax = plt.gca()
theta = np.deg2rad(30)
S = np.sin(theta)
C = np.cos(theta)
R = transforms.Affine2D(matrix=np.array([[ C, -S, 0.5],
[ S, C, 0.5],
[ 0, 0, 1.]]))
rect = patches.Rectangle((0, 0), 0.5, 0.1, transform=R + ax.transData)
text = plt.text(0, 0, 'hello', size=50, transform=R + ax.transData)
ax.add_patch(rect)
plt.show()
