"figure" is the term for the entire printable space.  The graphs that
are made in a figure are called "plots".  figtext() lets you put text
anywhere you want in the normalized domain of 0 to 1.  If you want the
text exactly in the middle, the specify 0.5, 0.5.  Want it in a
corner, then you can do 0.0, 1.0.  Figtext is what you want.
