Is it currently possible to annotate Makie-plots? I am thinking about having text at the root of an arrow that point to some location in the plot. I am imagining that one could DIY it by plotting a vector, and possible plotting a point at it’s root with the marker being some text, but are there any build-in, convenient features for this? I can’t seem to find any.
http://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/abstractplotting_api.html#AbstractPlotting.annotations-Tuple
Something like:
julia> points = [Point2f0(cos(t), sin(t)) for t in LinRange(0, 2pi, 20)];
julia> colors = 1:20;
julia> figure, axis, scatterobject = scatter(points, color = colors, markersize = 15);
julia> AbstractPlotting.annotations!(string.('a':'z')[1:20], points, textsize = 0.1, font = "JuliaMono")
Annotations{Tuple{Vector{Tuple{String, Point{2, Float32}}}}}
EDIT: Apologies, my initial draft didn’t use JuliaMono font!

This example doesn’t really show that text is currently always drawn with axis scaling applied, so if your scaling is not approximately equal, the text will be really stretched. I have a PR waiting to fix this but the GLMakie support is still missing that PR is now merged

Can this be done for a single subplot? I naively hoped annotations!(ax, "text", (0,0)) might work but alas not implemented.
There is text!(ax, "text", position=(0,0), space = :data), see text
(I think that is the annotations replacement in current Makie.)
