How can I make the output of annotate() the same as print() in matplotlib?

Question

I found that when the text contains a lot of spaces, the output of print() will be different from the output of plt.annotate()

My question is : How can I make the output of annotate() the same as print() in matplotlib?

I use the following code to compare the output of print() with the output of plt.annotate():

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import json

with open("epoch_3350-20230218172431.json", "r") as source:
    log_dict = json.load(source)
    print(log_dict["model_structure"])
    plt.figure(figsize=(25, 10))
    plt.annotate(text=f"{log_dict.get('model_structure').__str__()}",
                   xy=(0.08, 0.5), bbox={'facecolor': 'green', 'alpha': 0.4, 'pad': 5},
                   fontsize=14, xycoords='axes fraction', va='center')
    plt.show()
    plt.close()

output of print() :

MTSCorrAD(
  (gin_convs): ModuleList(
    (0): GINConv(nn=Sequential(
      (0): Linear(in_features=1, out_features=3, bias=True)
      (1): BatchNorm1d(3, eps=1e-05, momentum=0.1, affine=True, track_running_stats=True)
      (2): ReLU()
      (3): Linear(in_features=3, out_features=3, bias=True)
      (4): ReLU()
    ))
  )
  (gru1): GRU(3, 8)
  (lin1): Linear(in_features=8, out_features=3, bias=True)
)

output of plt.annotate() :

As the results show, the output of print() is different from the output of plt.annotate().

Have you tried to use a monospace font? ```plt.annotate( <#What you already have#>, fontfamily='monospace')``` — Oniow, Feb 22 '23 at 04:58
You will need to use a monospace font, please refer to [how to change fonts in matplotlib](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21321670/how-to-change-fonts-in-matplotlib-python) — metatoaster, Feb 22 '23 at 05:02

Just like @Oniow said in the comment, the output of plt.annotate() become normal after set the argument: fontfamily='monospace'.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import json

with open("epoch_3350-20230218172431.json", "r") as source:
    log_dict = json.load(source)
    print(log_dict["model_structure"])
    plt.figure(figsize=(25, 10))
    plt.annotate(text=f"{log_dict.get('model_structure').__str__()}",
                   xy=(0.08, 0.5), bbox={'facecolor': 'green', 'alpha': 0.4, 'pad': 5},
                   fontsize=14, fontfamily='monospace', xycoords='axes fraction', va='center')
    plt.show()
    plt.close()

How can I make the output of annotate() the same as print() in matplotlib?
