This means text overflows outside its axes into adjacent \naxes or outside the figure entirely, making the plot look broken.\n\n**Example:** A 2-column subplot figure where a long annotation in the \nleft axes spills into the right axes area.\n\n### Proposed solution\n\nAdd an option for wrap=True to respect the axes boundary when text \nis placed inside an axes, so annotations stay visually contained \nwithin their axes.\n\nThis could be implemented by checking whether the text object belongs \nto an axes (self.axes is not None) in the _get_wrap_line_width() \nmethod of text.py, and using the axes boundary instead of the figure \nboundary when calculating the available wrap width.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/codegnan-dm","@type":"Person","name":"codegnan-dm"},"datePublished":"2026-05-11T04:17:29.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":14},"url":"https://github.com/31655/matplotlib/issues/31655"}
