Text watermark¶
A watermark effect can be achieved by drawing a semi-transparent text.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Fixing random state for reproducibility
np.random.seed(19680801)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(np.random.rand(20), '-o', ms=20, lw=2, alpha=0.7, mfc='orange')
ax.grid()
ax.text(0.5, 0.5, 'created with matplotlib', transform=ax.transAxes,
fontsize=40, color='gray', alpha=0.5,
ha='center', va='center', rotation='30')
plt.show()
