 # Here the annotation is placed at position (.5,.5) relative to the arrow's
-# lower left corner and is vertically and horizontally centered at that
-# position. For an example of chaining annotation Artists, see the
+# lower left corner and is vertically and horizontally at that position.
+# Vertically, the bottom aligns to that reference point so that the label
+# is above the line. For an example of chaining annotation Artists, see the
