Annotations panel
The Annotations panel is located in the Customize->Basic accordion menu in the table editor. The options presented let you create text boxes, highlights, lines and arrows to highlight important or interesting sections of your chart.
Annotations
You can add a variety of annotations to your charts in everviz. You can add text, for example, to provide the viewer with information or to draw attention to something in the chart. Click the + icon next to the annotation’s drop-down list to add a new annotation to the chart. Click the trashcan icon to delete the selected annotation. You can use the annotation type’s drop-down list to select a specific annotation if you’ve added more than one annotation to a chart.
Text Labels

Type: Click the drop-down menu to select the text label type. Callout is a standard textbox connected to a downward triangle. Connector shows a curved arrow and a text label without a background. Circle shows a small circle behind the start of the text label. You can move the text label whichever type you choose, and the lines connecting it to the fixed, terminal triangle will elongate accordingly.
Size: Enter a positive value to specify the font size of the text label or use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the value shown.
