Hi,

I had mistakingly answered privately to this email without ccing the 
mailing list. So in the mean time I have prepared a changeset (see 
attched) that adds context menus to annotation objects in order to be 
able to tune the annotations after creation. It works when the 
annotation has been created from the interpreter. When created from the 
figure/dialog, changes lag behind and must be forced using e.g. mouse 
click out of the canvas: try "demo annotation 1" to see the expected 
behavior.
I also can provide a changeset (nearly ready) to let the user draw a 
rectangular box when creating an annotation textbox instead of just 
clicking on the canvas.

@JohnD: currently, using the textbox annotation dialog in "--no-gui" 
mode crashes Octave. Also it would be great if this dialog could be 
called from the interpreter using a DLD function (and a "More ..." item 
in the context menus).
