Rob:
Graphics primitives are the basic objects that Mathematica uses to
describe graphics:
Plot[ArcSin[x],{x,0,1},
Epilog-> (*or Prolog*)
{{PointSize[.02],Point[{.7, ArcSin[.7]}],
Text[{"x","y"},{.7, ArcSin[.7]},{-1,1}],(*{-1,1} is the offset*)
Line[{{1,0},{1, ArcSin[1]}}]
}}
]
InputForm[%] (*to see the Mma code *)
Show[Graphics[
{
{Thickness[.02],Hue[0], Line[{{0,0},{1,2},{2,0}}]},
(*{..} isolate Thickness and Hue*)
{PointSize[.03],Hue[.7],Point[{1,1}]},
Text["blue point",{1,1},{0,-2}]
},
Frame -> True
]]
