function ht = plotsign2 (h,s,Opt);
%	ht = plotsign2 (h,s,[Opt]);
%	h is the figure handle, if you need to specify a subplot within the figure
%    pass the figure handle and the subplot number in h, like: [1 213] 
%    or [1 2 1 3]
%	s is the text string, if s is not supplied, a default string is used
%    the default is : machine : date \n path:filename of calling matlab script
%
% Opt is an optional structure with the following optional fields
%  .Place is an approximate position for placing the text.
%     .Place is a three character string where the first character 
%      specifies whether the placement is relative to the Figure 'F'
%      or the plot 'P'. The second character 
%      specifies the Y position, and the second character the 
%      X position. For example 'FTC' means Figure Top Center.
%      Your options for the relative positioning are :
%              F for figure and P for plot
%      Your options for the Y position (first letter) are:
%              T or C or B (Top or Center or Bottom) 
%      Your options for the X position (second letter) are:
%       			L or C or R (Left or Center or Right)
%      text alignment is done automatically, unless you specify a .Align option.
%     The default is 'FBR'  
%  .Pos (2x1 or 3x1 vector) pins the X Y postion (relative the X Y axis) of the plot
%    .Pos overrides .Place.
%   NOTE : The units of .Pos are relative to the plot 
%  .Font is the fontsize to use (a number or string). (like 8, or 10 or 12 etc).
%     The default is 2 numbers less the current axis on the figure (usually 8)
%     You can also specify 'l' or 's' for large or small (2 less or 2 more than
%     current axis). 'n' for a font equal to that of current axis.
%  .FontName is an optional string specifying a font name
%  .Color : choose colors that you normally specify in text function, like 'r'
%       the default is 'k'. You can also specify an rgb vector 
%       (values between 1 and 0)
%  .HAlign : string specifying the horizontal alignment of text, options are
%       'left', 'center', 'right', '' for default
%  .VAlign : string specifying the vertical alignment of text, options are 
%       'top', 'middle', 'bottom', '' for default
%
%  Once you see the object, you can move it with the mouse
%  ht is the handle to the text object
%
%  example:
%  t=0:0.1:50; Y = sin(0.5.*t); cf = figure(1); plot (t,Y); 
%  Ssign = sprintf ('Z.S.Saad %s\n image:%s/%s', date, pwd, mfilename );
%  plotsign2(cf,Ssign);
%  or 
%  Opt.Place = 'FTC'; Opt.Color = 'r'; Opt.Font = 16;
%  plotsign2(cf,Ssign,Opt);
%  or
%  Opt.Pos = [t(400) Y(400)];Opt.Color = 'b'; Opt.Font = 12;
%  plotsign2(cf,Ssign,Opt);
