labels plotting style

Show all headers | View raw

I am working with the  labels "plotting style"
as discussed in the manual version 4.6, page 54.


Appended below are a command file and two simple data files
which illustrate what I am trying to do.


Evidently, the default behavior for the plot command
I use below is that the relationship of the plotted label
to the specified coordinate is:

  horizontally, centered at the specified coordinate.
  vertically, _below_ the specified coordinate.

Are there any commands that can change this default
behavior?  What I would like to do is have the label:

   horizontally, to the right of the specified coordinate
   vertically, above the specified coordinate


Hopefully, I was clear.

Thank you for your help.
