Hi bedibra,

Currently the annotation tool is not hooked to the doTool command in LabTalk. After putting
annotation labels, you cannot collect annotated points (I think, but I may be wrong). Alternatively,
you can make a dataset during the application of the Data Reader tool such by the following code,
if this way works in your application.:

ag$=%H;  //Graph name
window -t wks; //Make a new worksheet
aw$=%H;        //Worksheet name
range rwx=[%H]!1;  //X dataset
range rwy=[%H]!2;  //Y dataset
window -a %(ag$);  //Activate graph
count=0;           //counter of points
dotool 3;          // Start the Data Reader tool
// Define the macro that runs for each point selection
def pointproc {
  count++;         // Increment count
  rwx[count] = x;  // Get the X coordinate
  rwy[count] = y;  // Get the Y coordinate
  label -s -a x y "($(x,.3), $(y,.3))";  //Put a label of the point
  //type -b Point-$(count): ($(x,.3), $(y,.3)).\nPress Esc to finish;
}
// Define a macro that runs if user presses Esc key, or clicks the Pointer Tool:
def quittoolbox {
  type -b You have created $(count) points in %(aw$).;
  window -a %(aw$);
}

Hope this helps.

Inspired by Hideo's reply, you can run the script below, then use the annotate tool.

ag$=%H;  //Graph name
window -t wks; //Make a new worksheet
aw$=%H;        //Worksheet name
range rwx=[%H]!1;  //X dataset
range rwy=[%H]!2;  //Y dataset
window -a %(ag$);  //Activate graph
count=0;           //counter of points
// Define the macro that runs for each point selection
def pointproc {
  count++;         // Increment count
  rwx[count] = x;  // Get the X coordinate
  rwy[count] = y;  // Get the Y coordinate
  //label -s -a x y "($(x,.3), $(y,.3))";  //Put a label of the point
  //type -b Point-$(count): ($(x,.3), $(y,.3)).\nPress Esc to finish;
}
// Define a macro that runs if user presses Esc key, or clicks the Pointer Tool:
def quittoolbox {
  type -b You have created $(count) points in %(aw$).;
  window -a %(aw$);
}
