PlotString

Plots a text string on the image.

Note: After inserting the PlotString function into the spreadsheet, right-click on the function's spreadsheet cell and select Format and then Cells to open the Format Cells Dialog. Use the Graphics tab of the Format Cells dialog to format the Font and Font Size of the plotted text string. This is independent from the Font setting of the spreadsheet cell itself, which only affects the appearance of the cell in the Spreadsheet Editor.
