Draw text at screen-space coordinates

HI,
is it possible to draw e.g. text or simple shapes in screen-space coordinates onto an axes?
The idea is that I can zoom in and pan a graph, but the text (or shapes) stays at a fixed location and maintains the same size on the screen, independent of the "zoom" and X/Y limits.
Best,
Gebhard

You can create additional axes and write text there

See annotation(): https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2020a/matlab/ref/annotation.html. Use 'textbox' to write text in figure coordinates. The text will not move if you move the axes.
