i want to label something in a PLOT structure with TEXT. the problems are that the POLYGON i want to label is (usually) dark. One might solve this by guesstimating the size of the label and putting a white polygon behind it. The problem with this is that text doesn't scale in the same way that polygons do, so when you enlarge or reduce the graph the "text box" no longer holds the text. is there an option for TEXT that will write the label on white? or some other way of doing this? also the text is of variable length (edge weights for a graph, actually). thank you for your help
