# matplotlib.patches.bbox_artist

`matplotlib.patches.``bbox_artist`(artist, renderer, props=None, fill=True)

  This is a debug function to draw a rectangle around the bounding box returned by `get_window_extent()` of an artist, to test whether the artist is returning the correct bbox.

  props is a dict of rectangle props with the additional property ‘pad’ that sets the padding around the bbox in points.
