Update usetex_fonteffects example.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 43648ca19772 · 2020-02-28T01:20:02.000+01:00
- Use Figure.text() / Figure.suptitle() instead of adding text to an
  Axes and then going through the bother of setting the axes limits and
  then hiding the axes.
- Explicitly pass usetex=True to the sole text() call instead of using
  rc().
- Show the figure, demonstrating that things work in agg as well,
  instead of creating a pdf file that then needs to be cleaned out of
  the source tree (but mention that saving to pdf works too).
- fstringify.
