Addtext command for panel in a chart

[Liu]

Hi,

Is there a change in the the addtext command in eViews 8?

The difference I experience is like this: In eViews 7 I wrote a program that creates textboxs in chart1 like this:

p1. graph series1
p1.addtext(x1, y1) "Description of P1"
p2.graph series2
p2.addtext(x2, y2) "Description of P2"

chart1.merge p1 p2

In order to find the correct coordinate (x1,y1, x2, y2), I run the program first, then open chart1 in the workfile, and drag each textbox in chart1 to an ideal location, then click each textbox to record their coordinates.

However in eView 8, I feel that a textbox is no longer an option of a panel: if I drag text box of P2 high enough, it somehow enters the "domain" of panel1, and the coordinates given are according to its position in panel1, despite the fact that it was created by command "p2.addtext...". At this time, if I write down the coordinates and revise as (x2, y2) and re-run the program, the text box won't be in the right place.

How can I keep the text box to the panel they're created for (especially after I move them)?
