This example shows how to style text boxes using bbox parameters.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.text(0.6, 0.7, "eggs", size=50, rotation=30.,
         ha="center", va="center",
         bbox=dict(boxstyle="round",
                   ec=(1., 0.5, 0.5),
                   fc=(1., 0.8, 0.8),
                   )
         )

plt.text(0.55, 0.6, "spam", size=50, rotation=-25.,
         ha="right", va="top",
         bbox=dict(boxstyle="square",
                   ec=(1., 0.5, 0.5),
                   fc=(1., 0.8, 0.8),
                   )
         )

plt.show()
