I use this all the time. It's great.

One useful way to get "top-right" justified labels on graphs is to do
something like this,

xyouts, !x.crange(1), !y.crange(1), /data, '!CLabel Text ', align=1.0

The real trick is the "!C" in front. Normally, a Y coordinate of
!Y.CRANGE(1) would put the text above the top of the graph, but by
putting a carriage return, the text appears just below the top, inside
the graph.

The ALIGN=1.0 keyword puts the text against the right side of the
graph, and the few " " spaces at the end give it a bit of a margin.
