""" =================== AnnotationBbox demo =================== `.AnnotationBbox` creates an annotation using an `.OffsetBox`, and provides more fine-grained control than `.Axes.annotate`. This example demonstrates the use of AnnotationBbox together with three different OffsetBoxes: `.TextArea`, `.DrawingArea`, and `.OffsetImage`.
