Custom box styles
=================

This example demonstrates the implementation of a custom `.BoxStyle`.
Custom `.ConnectionStyle`\s and `.ArrowStyle`\s can be similarly defined.

# %%
# Custom box styles can be implemented as a function that takes arguments
# specifying both a rectangular box and the amount of "mutation", and
# returns the "mutated" path.  The specific signature is the one of
# ``custom_box_style`` below.
#
# Here, we return a new path which adds an "arrow" shape on the left of the
# box.
#
# The custom box style can then be used by passing
# ``bbox=dict(boxstyle=custom_box_style, ...)`` to `.Axes.text`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x0, y0, width, height : float
        Box location and size.
    mutation_size : float
        Mutation reference scale, typically the text font size.

# Likewise, custom box styles can be implemented as classes that implement
# ``__call__``.
#
# The classes can then be registered into the ``BoxStyle._style_list`` dict,
# which allows specifying the box style as a string,
# ``bbox=dict(boxstyle="registered_name,param=value,...", ...)``.
# Note that this registration relies on internal APIs and is therefore not
# officially supported.
