function movetext(arg)
% MOVETEXT  Used to grab and move text objects.
%           To activate, type "movetext" or "movetext('on')".
%           Then, move the mouse pointer near the lower left corner of 
%           the text object you want to move.  Depress and hold down 
%           the left mouse button.  When the pointer changes from an arrow
%           to a fleur, drag the text to the new location.  Release the 
%           left mouse button.  This action can be done to any text object 
%           on the figure (including titles and axis labels) at any time 
%           until "movetext('off')" is executed.  This turns off the 
%           movetext capability.
