By setting the NORMAL keyword, you are telling XYOUTS that the X and Y
coordinates are normalized, i.e., with respect to the entire display,
not just the current plot. You may have better luck plotting the text in
*data* coordinates, e.g.,

xyouts, x, y, 'text'

where x and y are selected relative to the x- and y-axes.
