[Gnuplot-info] box over arrow over plot

[Elias A. <eli...@gm...>]

Hello,

I would like to achieve the following: plot a graph; draw an arrow over 
the graph; draw a box over the arrow; draw a label over the box.  The 
purpose of the box is to provide a white background for the label.

What does not work for me is the correct “order of opacity” label > box 
 > arrow > plot.  If I try like this:

set arrow from 1,1 to 4,4 lw 2 front
set object rect center 1,1 size 2,2 front
set label "foo" at 1,1 center tc ls 2 font ',24' front
p x

the box does not cover the arrow; like this:

set arrow from 1,1 to 4,4 lw 2
set object rect center 1,1 size 2,2 front
set label "foo" at 1,1 center tc ls 2 font ',24' front
p x

the arrow does not cover the plot (which is important to me because my 
real plot has filled curves).

Is there a simple way to do this?
