% NEWTEXT  Add editable text
%    NEWTEXT(X,Y,STRING)  adds text to the current axes
%       at point X,Y.  When used from the command line,
%       the text string can be edited by double clicking
%       on the text.  Font and color properties can also
%       be edited by right clicking.
%
%    Use the PLOTEDIT toolbar to add draggable text.
