[Read New File] Attach Text to Page [-] -
As mentioned above, there are two ways to add textual annotations to your graph. This second method attaches your annotation to the coordinates of the printed page (or window). Its position will not be affected by any panning or zooming of your graph data. Typically, page-relative annotations are used to provide longer explanations about the data set, conditions, observations, etc.. These are often placed outside the graph borders, perhaps, above, below, or aside of the graph. The Move Border option is particularly helpful for providing more space around the graph to accommodate longer discussions. When you press this button, a pop-up window will appear for you to enter some text. You will notice that it has a larger, multi-line, test-box to accommodate longer descriptions than the previous annotation mode. After entering your text and clicking the ok button, then click-once at the place in the graph window where you wish to attach the text. You will see your added text appear where you clicked.
