This tab allows you to add text or an image to a specific location on the graph. Annotations are associated
with a specific Graph View (selectable), and when the Graph View is removed, the annotations associated
with it are also removed.

Procedure

To add a new annotation on a graph,

1. Make sure Show annotation layer is selected in the Layered Properties section at the top of the

window.

2. Use the drop-down Select view menu to choose the graph for the new annotation. This drop-

down menu shows all available Graph Views.

3. Once you have selected the appropriate graph, click New Annotation and enter the desired text in

the pop-up window.

4. When finished, click OK to place the annotation in the center of the graph.

Notes

To hide a graph’s annotations without deleting them, select Hide annotation layer in the Layered
Properties box.

To adjust the position of the annotation, enter values into the Annotation position X and Y boxes
or use the up/down arrows next to the boxes. These boxes list the position of the annotation using
the same units as the current axes of the graph. If you switch the x-axis units of the graph, you
must then come back to the Annotations tab and reposition your annotation on the graph using the
Annotation position X and Y boxes.

After exiting the Graph Layer Options panel you can also move the annotation around the graph
by grabbing and dragging it by holding down the left-click button on the mouse.
