This is an advanced example that uses a drawing callback to
add annotations to a plot. More information on this topic can
be found in <a class="xref" href="callbacks.html#callbacks-drawing" title="4.4.5. Using Callbacks to Annotate Plots">Section 4.4.5, “Using Callbacks to Annotate Plots”</a>,
where this example is described in detail.

# Establish the drawing callback to do the annotation:
