Annotation Properties

You can change properties of an annotation. Click the annotation text box to select it. Right-click inside the text box, and select Properties from the pop-up menu.

The Text Properties dialog box appears. (See Figure 8.7.) The dialog box has two tabs. You can use the Font tab to set attributes of the font that is used to display an annotation. The Font tab is described in Common Plot Properties.
