Was having trouble finding this package, couldn't remember the name. Figure this would have helped me and make it slightly more discoverable. Also, please consider adding this package to https://matplotlib.org/mpl-third-party/

Hello author, the ha and va parameters in the flexitext library do not seem to be consistent with those in ax.text. Set ha='center' in ax.text, the text of different lines will be aligned in the center, but this parameter seems to be invalid in flexitext (The alignment result is not quite consistent with the text). Setting ha='center' in flexitext is still left-aligned? The following is my code:

`

fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.8, left=0.025)
x = [1, 2, 3]
y_blue = [2, 2.7, 4.5]
y_red = [1, 3, 2.5]
ax.scatter(x, y_blue, color="royalblue", s=120)
ax.scatter(x, y_red, color="crimson", s=120)
# Add flexitext
text = (
    "<name:Montserrat><size:24>A <weight:bold>great chart</> showing</>\n"
    "<size:18>the values for the "
    "<color:royalblue, weight:bold>blues</> and the <color:crimson, weight:bold>reds</></></>"
)
flexitext(0.5, 0.5, text, va="center", ha='center', ax=ax); #xycoords="figure fraction"
ax.text(0.5, 0.2, text, va="center", ha='center',transform=ax.transAxes)
plt.show()

`

Is there a parameter in flexitext that can horizontally align the text of different lines in the center (even if the text size is inconsistent)?

Thank you.

Hi, I want to use Flexitext to draw the text of subplots, but I find that parameter transform = axes. TransAxes is not supported. Is it possible to specify coordinate system in the future?

• Modify dev requirements and sort them alphabetically.
• Add pyproject.toml where we set the length of the black formatter.
• Flexitext now parses floats like 2. as 2.0. Previously it tried to parse two different numbers, resulting in an error.
• Increase coverage to 100%.
• Added changelog.

I think I found a bug when using Matplotlib's constrained layout and flexitext. In this case, flexitext makes the layout very inconsistent if the window is resized, and different from what is expected. Here's some example code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from flexitext import flexitext

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12, 6), layout="constrained")

text1 = "<size:42, name:Carlito>Some<color:#11557c, weight:bold> text</></>"
text2 = "<size:36, name:Lato, color:royalblue><weight:bold>Here</> too</>"

flexitext(0.5, 0.5, text1, ha="center", ax=ax[0])
flexitext(0.5, 0.5, text2, ha="center", ax=ax[1])

fig.set_facecolor("w")
# fig.savefig("example.png", dpi=300)
plt.show()

Here is a screenshot of the result:

After maximizing the window, and going back to its original size, the layout has changed:

Maximizing again, and going back to the original size:

Note that uncommenting fig.savefig("example.png", dpi=300) triggers a canvas draw and improves the layout for the given window size, but it doesn't seem to be what the layout would be without the flexitext.

Expected layout:

What do you think?
