Annotation

Add an annotation to a plot.

model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Annotation");

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();

model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Annotation") creates an annotation feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>.

Annotations add text, including optional position coordinates, to plots.

The following properties are available:

Table 7-9: Valid Properties for annotations.
Property	Value	Default	Description
anchorpoint	upperright \| uppermiddle \| upperleft \| middleright \| center \| middleleft \| lowerright \| lowermiddle \| lowerleft	upperleft	The position of the annotation text relative to the anchor point at the position given by posexpr.
backgroundcolor	custom \| fromtheme \| black \| blue \| cyan \| gray \| green \| magenta \| red \| white \| yellow \| none	none	The color to use for background rectangle.
color	custom \| fromtheme \| black \| blue \| cyan \| gray \| green \| magenta \| red \| white \| yellow	fromtheme	The color to use for the point where the annotation appears and the annotation text. The default takes the color from the current color theme.
data	none \| parent \| dataset name	parent	The dataset this feature refers to.
descriptionintitle	on \| off	on	Whether the title contribution should contain the description when titletype is custom.
exprprecision	positive integer	6	Precision for the expressions used in annotations.
expressionintitle	on \| off	off	Whether the title contribution should contain the expression when titletype is custom.
inheritbackgroundcolor	Boolean	true	If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the background color is inherited.
inheritcolor	Boolean	true	If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the color is inherited.
inheritframe	Boolean	true	If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the show frame property is inherited.
inheritplot	none \| plot name	none	The plot that color is inherited from.
latexmarkup	on \| off	off	Include LaTeX markup language in annotation.
level	fromdataset \| global \| line \| point \| surface \| volume	fromdataset	The geometry level for evaluating expressions. The default is to take it from the dataset. volume is only available in 3D.
orientation	horizontal \| vertical	horizontal	Orient the annotation text horizontally or vertically.
plotonsecyaxis	Boolean	false	Plot on secondary y-axis if twoyaxes is set to true in the parent plot group. For 1D graph plots and annotations only. An array, using setIndex syntax.
pointradius	double	2	A value between 0 and 10 for the point radius, if showpoint is true.
posexprx	String array	{"0"}	Position x-coordinates for the annotation.
posexpry	String array	{"0"}	Position y-coordinates for the annotation.
posexprz	String array	{"0"}	Position z-coordinates for the annotation (3D only).
posprecision	positive integer	6	Precision for the position values.
prefixintitle	String	Empty	A prefix text in a custom title.
prependcoords	on \| off	off	Include coordinates of annotation position before the annotation text.
recover	off \| pprint \| ppr	off	The derivative recovery method (off, within domains, or everywhere).
showframe	true \| false	false	Whether to show a frame around the annotation or not.
showpoint	true \| false	true	Whether to show the point for the position of the annotation or not.
solutionparams	manual \| parent	manual	If data is a local dataset with nontrivial data, specify solutions manually or take them from the parent plot group.
suffixintitle	String	Empty	A suffix text in a custom title.
text	String	Empty	The text to display as an annotation.
title	String	The auto-title	The title to use when titletype is manual.
titletype	auto \| custom \| label \| manual \| none	auto	auto, if the title should be computed automatically. custom, if the title should be computed automatically, but customized. label, if the title should be the plot group’s label. manual, if the manual title should be used (the title property). none, if no title should be displayed.
typeintitle	on \| off	on	Whether the title contribution should contain the type when titletype is custom.
unitintitle	on \| off	on	Whether the title contribution should contain the unit when titletype is custom.

Deform, Translation

The property allowexprs property has been removed as of version 6.0. Evaluation on of expressions in the annotation’s text using the eval(expr), eval(expr,unit), and eval(expr,unit,expression) syntax is now always allowed for the annotation text.
