Enter or edit a notation placed at an arbitrary location on the plot.

Force legend/notes on screen

If you use the mouse to drag the plot legend or notes outside the plot limits and then change the plot size with the Extents/Intervals/Size command on the Options menu, it is possible that the legend or notes will now be completely off the display and inaccessible. Select this command to force those items to be visible on the screen. This is not a persistent command; it only affects the legend or notes at the time you use it.

X,Y Labels or X,Y,Z Labels

Specify text labels to appear in place of or in addition to the numbers, dates, or times that appear on the X, Y, or Z axes.
