====================================================
Concatenating text objects with different properties
====================================================

The example strings together several Text objects with different properties
(e.g., color or font), positioning each one after the other.  The first Text
is created directly using `~.Axes.text`; all subsequent ones are created with
`~.Axes.annotate`, which allows positioning the Text's lower left corner at the
lower right corner (``xy=(1, 0)``) of the previous one (``xycoords=text``).
