page 470 in the 2.2 notebook has the same information on putting text in
graphics. Sorry you have to specify coordinates yourself, but there is
always a trade-off between automation and flexibility in computer
languages. Personally, I want the control myself and as soon as
somebody at wolfram came up with an automatic labeller, I probably
wouldn't like it.
