Since you know what you are plotting, you can write a quick helper function that will compute the optimal (to you) location for the label to occur based on where things are drawn on the canvas.  There is a _lot_ of flexibility here so you should be able to get your text looking exactly how (and where) you want it.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your swift response - you solved my problem!

Sorry I took a while to get back to you.

Thanks again,

Jamie
