This icon is a plotting specification for imported text. It specifies the text box positioning in the plot frame of the Display Window / paper sheet. This is used to provide plot frames that can be filled with user defined text (e.g. to provide comments on complex plots).
The user text is provided by means of Text Plotting icons to be dropped in the plot frames containing this type of view.

The Annotation View icon can also be used for layout purposes, e.g. if no Text Plotting icons are dropped then an empty box will be created in the Display Window / paper sheet.
In fact, this icon combines three Metview 3 Views: TextView, EmptyView and ImportView (to be implemented).

The macro language equivalent is annotationview().

The Annotation View Editor

Subpage X Position

Specifies the X offset of the plot from the left side of the plot frame (any subdivision of the display area). This is expressed as a percentage of the X-dimension of the plot frame.

Subpage Y Position

Specifies the Y offset of the plot from the bottom side of the plot frame (any subdivision of the display area). This is expressed as a percentage of the Y-dimension of the plot frame.

Subpage X Length

Specifies the X length of the plot. This is expressed as a percentage of the X-dimension of the plot frame. Hence the sum of this X length plus the X offset cannot exceed 100 (it is advised that it does not exceed 95 since you need some margin on the right for things like axis or map grid labels).

Subpage Y Length

As above but for the Y length of the plot.

Page Frame

Toggles the plotting of a border line around the plot frame On /Off .

Page Frame Parameters

Comprising Page Frame Colour, Page Frame Line Style and Page Frame Thickness, these parameters specify the characteristics of the plot frame border line. Only available when Page Frame is On .

Page Id Line

Toggles the plotting of plot identification line On /Off .

Page Id Line User Text

Specifies user text to be added to the plot identification line. Only available when Page Id Line is On .

Subpage Frame

Toggles the plotting of a border line around the plot itself On /Off . In most cases you will want this to be left On . When Off the sides of the plot not equipped with axis will not be plotted.

Subpage Frame Parameters

Comprising Subpage Frame Colour, Subpage Frame Line Style and Subpage Frame Thickness, these parameters specify the characteristics of the plot frame border line. Only available when Subpage Frame is On .

Subpage Background Colour

Specifies the colour of the background of the plot (i.e. not affected by visual definitions like contour shadings or lines).
