How to align text box with legend box in matplotlib?

Question

I'm trying to place text at the top left of my figure, and then have the legend next to it at the same vertical height. The following doesn't do what I would expect:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(4, 4))
ax.plot([0, 1,2,3],[2, 5,8,33], label='legend')
plt.legend(loc=[0.5, 1.2], fontsize=20)
fig.text(x=0, y=1.2, s="Text", fontsize=20)

It seems like the positioning using text() and legend() are inconsistent? How can I do this?

Answer 1

Figure.text is in figure co-ordinates, so it is being placed outside the figure. plt.legend is in axes co-ordinates.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(4, 4))
ax.plot([0, 1,2,3],[2, 5,8,33], label='legend')
plt.legend(loc=[0.5, 1.2], fontsize=20)
fig.text(x=0, y=1.2, s="Text", fontsize=20, transform=ax.transAxes)

works. (or plt.text(x=0, y=1.2, s="Text", fontsize=20, transform=ax.transAxes) )
