Python 如何创建带有剪裁背景的渐变文本

我正在try 绘制渐变文本.我的 idea 是使用代码from the docs创建渐变，创建渐变背景，然后使用文本路径裁剪图像.不管是什么原因，我只收到了第一个字母和一些第二个字母.

更改轴的限制或图形的宽度似乎不起作用.我可以更改TextPath的大小，但似乎无法使文本占据图像的全部大小.将文本大小设置为0.2并将YLIM从0设置为0.2只会生成压缩文本.如何才能使文本跨过轴的大小并获得整个渐变的范围？

    """
    Draw a gradient image based on a colormap.

    Parameters
    ----------
    ax : Axes
        The axes to draw on.
    extent
        The extent of the image as (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax).
        By default, this is in Axes coordinates but may be
        changed using the *transform* keyword argument.
    direction : float
        The direction of the gradient. This is a number in
        range 0 (=vertical) to 1 (=horizontal).
    cmap_range : float, float
        The fraction (cmin, cmax) of the colormap that should be
        used for the gradient, where the complete colormap is (0, 1).
    **kwargs
        Other parameters are passed on to `.Axes.imshow()`.
        In particular useful is *cmap*.
