A new "notation" button is added to the toolbar on ASAP plotter. You can add/modify/delete a note on the plot when "notation" button is selected.

How to: <Add a note> (1)Press LEFT mouse button on the plot at a place you want to print the note, and a notation window is loaded. (2) Specify a note string, and an anchor, and then press "print" button to print the note on plot.

[What is an anchor?] You can select whether "figure", "panel", or "data" as an anchor. When "figure" or "panel" is selected, the note is printed on relative position (0-1) in the figure or subplot, respectively. The note won't move with pan/zoom. If "data" is selected as an anchor, the note is anchored on the data position of the subplot. This is useful when you want to label a spectral line, because the note will always move along with the spectrum when you pan/zoom the plot.

<Modify a note> (1) Press RIGHT mouse button on the note. A cascade menu is loaded to select "Modify" or "Delete". (2) Select "Modify" and the notation window is loaded with the current note string in the text box. You can modify text/anchor and print it on the plot as described above.

<Delete a note> (1) Press RIGHT mouse button on the note. A cascade menu is loaded to select "Modify" or "Delete". (2) Select "Delete" and confirm the operation by selecting "OK" on a pop-up dialog.
