How to get text from PyObject <matplotlib.text.Text object>

[Freddy Chua]

I am using PyPlot to visualise my results.

Then I used locs, labels = xticks() to get the x-axis labels

but labels[1] is a PyObject <matplotlib.text.Text object> instead of a Julia String. How do I get the string out? I need to reformat the string..

labels[1][:get_text]()

Try the above.  PyPlot hangs on my computer without drawing anything in it's window, so the text I received was just an empty string, but the corresponding function in python seemed to work.

This works, but I wonder why it is not documented anywhere.
