==================
Auto-wrapping text
==================
Matplotlib can wrap text automatically, but if it's too long, the text will be
displayed slightly outside of the boundaries of the axis anyways.

"doesn't go outside of the figure, but if it's long enough it will go "
"off the top or bottom!")
