MATLAB: Placing annotations at specific xy coordinates

annotationscoordinate systemsplotting

Just wondering but I wanted to put annotations/text boxes at specific coordinates but when I read up on the page I saw that the values of x and y in the 'dim' vector must be between 0 and 1. Im just looking for a way to place 'X's at specific xy coordinates to signify that those points are no longer being considered for my calculations?? I figured annotations would be good way to accomplish that because I wanted to avoid matlab cconsidering a plotted X as an active point and therefore valid for my calculations. If you have any work arounds or suggestions Im all ears. Thanks for the help

Annotations are a pain to use unless the axes are normalized to 0:1. I see no reason why Matlab cannot allow users to specify the units in annotations which would make the tool a lot more useful.

That's much easier than anything annotation can do. Simply use the xy coordinates to plot "X"'s 
  hold on
  plot(x,y,'rx')
If you wanted rectangles for whatever reason, 
  widthHeight = [.1,.1];
  rectangle('Position', [x-widthHeight(1)/2, y-widthHeight(2)/2, widthHeight])
