-        Create an annotation: a piece of text referring to a data

-        Parameters
-        ----------
-        s : string
-            label
-
-        xy : (x, y)
-            position of element to annotate. See *xycoords* to control what
-            coordinate system this value is interpretated in.
-
-        xytext : (x, y) , optional, default: None
-            position of the label `s`. See *textcoords* to control what
-            coordinate system this value is interpreted in.
-
-        xycoords : string, optional, default: "data"
-            string that indicates what type of coordinates `xy` is. Examples:
-            "figure points", "figure pixels", "figure fraction", "axes
-            points", .... See `matplotlib.text.Annotation` for more details.
-
-        textcoords : string, optional, default: None
-            string that indicates what type of coordinates `text` is. Examples:
-            "figure points", "figure pixels", "figure fraction", "axes
-            points", .... See `matplotlib.text.Annotation` for more details.
-
-        arrowprops : `matplotlib.lines.Line2D` properties, optional
-            Dictionary of line properties for the arrow that connects
-            the annotation to the point. If the dictionnary has a key
-            `arrowstyle`, a `~matplotlib.patches.FancyArrowPatch`
-            instance is created and drawn.  See
-            `matplotlib.text.Annotation` for more details on valid
-            options. Default is None.
