    • Why Automation?

    ◼
  • Free-hand labeling can be time consuming and hard to reproduce.
    
    • ◼
  • Without an algorithmic method, labels can collide with each other and become hard to read.
    
    • ◼
  • Using low level Text to add labels requires post-processing of the plots.
    
    • ◼
  • Free-hand labeling can distract from the process of data exploration.
