Sorry Jae-Joon -- I was in a big hurry yesterday (in the financial
industry we're a bit busy these days) and I forgot that the
mind_reader module had not yet been committed to svn.

First, I'd like to say that these boxes look really nice, and I think
they enhance presentation charts in many contexts (eg business
presentations) so thanks a lot for contributing them.

I think the best organization is to put all of this functionality
(including the textbox code) into text.py and have the default text
instance support both the standard text box (Rectangle) and the
enhanced ones you have provided.   So basically, just your text.py
patch and move all the support code into text.py.  I'd also like to
put your example file in the pylab examples directory and add it to
examples/tests/backend_driver.py.

If you can do all that and submit it as a sf patch, that would be
great.  Alternatively, if you would like to send me your sf id, I can
add you as a developer and you can contribute it directly.

Thanks again,
JDH
