You can also place a text box directly inside a plot using one of the following methods:

 

Putting the plot in Edit Mode by clicking anywhere inside it, followed by selecting the InsertText Box command and then clicking inside the plot.

 

Right-click on a plot and select Add Text Box. A Text Box will be inserted inside the plot borders.

 

These text boxes can be formatted and used like any other text box within an FCS Express layout.  For example, a table can be added to the text box and then Tokens can be added to the cells of the table.

 

Statistics Tables can be directly embedded into a plot through a drag and drop process.  When this is done FCS Express will automatically create a table within that plot (Figure 5.158).
