Well, in this particular instance, I had to use
PLOT and not cgPlot, so it made a little more
sense to me to use XYOUTS rather than cgText.
The "problem" with Coyote Graphics (and, I suspect,
with function graphics too, is that the "objects"
have to be self-contained to work properly. With
Coyote Graphics this means setting and then restoring
system variables, which you would like to NOT be
set back if you are going to depend on them to
position the *next* graphics command.

Fortunately, the Coyote Graphics system is flexible
enough to be able to handle these somewhat contradictory
requirements. I'm already thinking about how to
overcome these difficulties in Coyote Graphics 2.0.

Cheers,

David
