Multiple text entries on an XY plot (Vector plot), Possible??

Hello, using LabView 6.1 here and have question for the experts.

I have an xy graph that I am sending a an array of clusters that to cut this short produces a vector plot with size of the arrows and direction indicating magnitude and direction while the color is referenced to a color table related to standard deviation. Anyway I would like to write the value of velocity as text near each arrow. Is their a convenient way of doing this? I have around 50 vectors to note so I am hoping to be able to pull the strings from a delimited file and build an array and bundle them to coordinates that i can feed the graph somehow..any advice would be appreciated

You can create invisible cursors at the given coordinates (read and write the cursors property) and give the cursors labels...

This is a good solution, but if you want an alternative, you could also
look at the picture control VIs for graphing. There is an example for
making a scatter plot, and a function for drawing text. This solution
gets more complicated if you want user interaction with the plot scales,
cursors, etc, but works well for pure displays.
