I'm not really sure I understand what you need to do - with
"annotating" do you mean to have graphics in the text like one would
have in a thesis or such? Whenever I needed something like that (e.g. in
my own thesis), I used LaTeX to write the text and made all graphs
etc.pp. in XFig, then exported them as eps - which can easily be boiund
into a LaTeX file. That worked fine and looked extremely good. However,
I've only used this technique for pictures that were on a line by
themselves, i.e. no text flow around them left and right. It's probably
possible to do this with LaTeX as well but I never had the need so I
never tried.
