Is there a way to get additional text to "lay flat" on a specified plane in 3D view? All text seems to align itself with the monitor's plane of view, while I'm trying to get text to be superimposed on the X-Y plane and say 'Z = 0'.

Here's what I'm working with:
<img src = "http://www.calpoly.edu/~bborra/phys417.png" />

I used:
<blockquote>plot3(...)
....
v = axis
....
text(v(2),0,v(5),'Y = 0')
</blockquote>

Is this possible?

Possibly if you used bitmapped text texture-mapped on to a surface with
alpha set to 0 where-ever the text is absent.
