    We can create an annotation without user interaction through Graphics.Scene:

    annotStr = r"This is my String" 
"""
The coordinates below should be in the geometry units 
(DataModel.GeoData.Unit)
"""
coor = [0,0,0] 

Point3D = ExtAPI.Graphics.CreateWorldPoint 
Pt = Point3D(coor[0], coor[1], coor[2])    
Label = ExtAPI.Graphics.Scene.Factory2D.CreateText(Pt, str(annotStr))
"""Hex color = black is used below (0x000000)"""
Label.Color = 0x000000    
Label.Highlight(100,100)

    Hi,

    Is there a way to adjust the text size and line width? The line width property is available, but does not seem to cause any change.
