I have tried to implement a solution I found here for my problem. I do however hit a bit of a snatch. If I just add some text above and below of the example, the graph and the text get on top of each other looking like this:

I have tried to put it in a box using the package tcolorbox but that did not help. Below is my code.

Thanks for your help!
