anchored_artists don't support zorder argument #7650
Description
AnchoredText and other items from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.anchored_artists don't accept zorder.
In the following example, the anchored text should be above the line:
import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.anchored_artists import AnchoredText
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
at = AnchoredText("test", prop=dict(size=24,zorder=20), loc=3, frameon=True, zorder=20)
ax.add_artist(at)
ax.plot([0,1],[0,1],'r', zorder=10)
plt.show()
- Matplotlib 1.5.3, Python 2.7.12 and 3.4.5 Platform OpenSUSE linux
- How install mpl:
pip install --update --user

one can however directly set the zorder on the at element:
at.zorder = 20tacaswell commentedon Dec 20, 2016
Without looking at the code, I expect this to be a matter of tracing through where the kwargs in AnchoredText get processed and ensure that zorder is properly handled.

@RafiKueng Would you be interested in taking a crack at sorting this out?

note to myself:
I also found other possible bugs in the ancored artists... (scalebar for example) I might clean up everything when I'm at it.

I believe that #7344 is related?
RafiKueng commentedon Jan 9, 2017
yes, looks like #7344 is related.
Can anyone help me out: what's the reason for having
mpl_toolkits/axes_grid,mpl_toolkits/axes_grid1,mpl_toolkits/axisartistandmatplotlib/offsetbox.py? Should there some cleaning up happen or shoudn't one touch/move/delete anything?tacaswell commentedon Jan 10, 2017
There should be some cleaning up, but it needs to be done carefully so that we do not break user code without warning.

axes_gridis the original, andaxes_grid1andaxisartistare split versions of them. I'm pretty surematplotlib.offsetboxis the real implementation and the others just import it (of whatever's implemented there, anyway.) I've got a bit of cleanup ready for as soon as I've finished #7545.AhmadSenousi commentedon Mar 26, 2021
Is this problem Solved?

@AhmadSenousi In general, issues are closed when they are solved. If that this was missed, you can easily run the minimal example above to see that this is not yet solved.
