Some way of placing text within a plot

Feature Requests

I often use plots for visualisations (since there is only one world view). Can we have some way of placing/printing text within a plot? For example if I am doing a visualisation of the partial ordering between some set of labelled things, it would be nice to be able to use these labels in the visualisation.

Thanks

Hi Bruce,

We’ve had a number of requests to allow more than one View widget, which is certainly under consideration as a future development. It seems to me that adding more View widgets would be a preferable solution to your problem, so since it’s already being discussed, I’m not sure that it’s wise to further complicate Plot widgets to achieve a similar goal. If you feel comfortable, we welcome any contributions you would like to make in the meantime, either as a new extension or potentially as a fork of an extension like eXtraWidgets. If that isn’t a good option for you, would it suffice to use a transparent note widget over top of a Plot? If the text isn’t static, maybe we could consider allowing transparent Output widgets, and you could use output-write to set the labels. Let me know your thoughts.

Isaac B.

That is fine, whichever way makes more sense for you.
