 Key Points
* To edit existing text, select desired text item in the "Text Annotations" box
* To add new text click the "Add" button and edit the newly created item
* To change the wording edit the "Expression" text box and press enter (or click the update button)
* Once you have selected a text item you can modify where it appears on the plot using layout
* You can also change it's font, size, bold/italic and color

 How Layout Works
* Item layout is always relative to an object
* The orientation is where the text appears on that relative object
* The alignment is how the text rectangle itself is positioned
* Rotation is clockwise starting at the horizon
