The Problem: Invisible Textbox

Example of the Issue

Here's a snippet of the code that demonstrates the problem:

In this case, the text was either drawn with incorrect coordinates or not drawn at all before any button was clicked.

The Solution: Adjusting Coordinates and Managing State

1. Adjust Coordinates

With 2 and 1 as coordinates, you're essentially placing the text within the histogram's visible range, ensuring it's rendered correctly.

2. Manage Text State

Here’s an updated code snippet demonstrating the solution:

3. Update remove_prev_hist

To keep the code clean and functional, you can comment out the line that removes the text and only manage the text's visibility/updates when changing the bins.

Conclusion: Streamlined Visualization with Matplotlib

Implement these tips into your own plotting code, and you’ll see significant improvements in how your text boxes appear and function. Happy coding!
