Creates a text geometry object from an Label String input. A user can also supply an optional Hour as an integer, which will be added into the label. This is useful if you are animating a time series of data. This is one of a suite of modules we used to plot the emission data for the state of North Carolina. This group of modules allows displaying points, lines and polygons over a map of the United States. The module suite is stored as a group in a compressed tar file at the International AVS Center, with some sample networks and datasets included. You may find it easier to access the modules this way. The compressed tar file is approximately 1.2MB in size, and can be found via anonymous ftp to avs.ncsc.org, in ftp/avs/Data/avs_dataWang_GIS_mods.tar.Z.
