What do you intend to do with the example that uses this functionality? Rewrite in terms of |
TextWithDash appears to be an ancestral version of Annotation that was added over two commits in 2005 (6a4d343, fe80816), revised once in 2006 and another time in 2008, and never touched since then. While it "works", its implementation is 400 lines long, it is only mentioned by a single example (dashpointlabel.py), somewhat complicates Axes.text(), and is likely rarely used and replaceable by Annotation for most use cases. Hence, deprecate it, keeping open the option to undeprecate if this turns out to be too disruptive.

TextWithDash appears to be an ancestral version of Annotation that was
added over two commits in 2005 (6a4d343, fe80816), revised once in 2006
and another time in 2008, and never touched since then.
While it "works", its implementation is 400 lines long, it is only
mentioned by a single example (dashpointlabel.py), somewhat complicates
Axes.text() (#12215), and is likely rarely used and replaceable by Annotation for
most use cases.
Hence, deprecate it, keeping open the option to undeprecate if this
turns out to be too disruptive. (I suggest to get the deprecation in 3.1
to give longer notice to users; I don't mind a longer deprecation period
(in numbers of minor releases) here.)
