Hi Dave,
just read your message

Is there a way to annotate a data point without working out its
> coordinates?  Plotting my gas/water usage, I'd like to see something like:

My advice: play with the coordinate system.
(I hope), you know that you can choose different coordinate systems, like
 `first`, `second`, `graph`, `screen`, or `character` (see also "help
coordinates" in gnuplot).

My solution would be, choosing first or second, and using an offset. For
your purposes you can enter dates for he xvalues too.

Of course the offset will mess up if you add to many points and change the
sizes to much. But all in all I think this should work for the first run.

Try it!
