Re: GUI question: Labels on Rasters

[Michael Whidden]

Well, I'm working with code someone else wrote that uses a
ZoomRaster to display bug via an Object2dDisplay.

What I'd like to do is annotate each bug in the Object2dDisplay
with a bit of text that follows the bug as it moves. 

Would you suggest that each bug draw itself (as, say, a 
NodeItem) and the TextItem on a Canvas rather than on a 
ZoomRaster?
