================
Anchored Artists
================

This example illustrates the use of the anchored objects without the
helper classes found in :mod:`mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1`. This version
of the figure is similar to the one found in
:doc:`/gallery/axes_grid1/simple_anchored_artists`, but it is
implemented using only the matplotlib namespace, without the help
of additional toolkits.
