PR summary

Motivated by wanting to position an image relative to text and being confused, I reworked the AnnotationBBox demo:

  • emphasize that this is a method for using artists as annotations, because that wasn't clear to me when I was looking through the docs
  • broke up the demo into separate sections (text, image, arbitrary artist based on the different offset box classes) because I was having trouble keeping my place and mapping code to image when I was using this example to make something.

Also added AnnotationBbox to the Annotation guide because it's currently not there. And documented offsetimagebox per @timhoffm's review.

Current docs:

ETA: AI disclosure

Used AI as fancy grep for dpi_cor and zoom.

I'm making my best guess at what dpi_cor means in the offsetImage context, but @leejjoon any chance you remember? or anyone from #5112

Um, I'm somewhat guessing that zoom here behaves the same way as zoom in matlab (and that it may have been renamed magnification in other functions).
