drag annotation in one axis only

[mattkav]

I have some annotations that are created automatically on an XY plot.  The annotation is associated with a time point in the x-axis, but it might be created right on top of some data.  I would like the user to be able to drag the annotation (not just the label) along only the y-axis.  Is there an easy way to do this?
One solution which won't be too difficult to add to my code is to track the drag and then reset the x while leaving the y alone.  But I was hoping there might be an easier way that I am missing.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi mattkav,

I am not aware of any easier way to accomplish this. The only other thought I had was to create an invisible cursor at the current location of the annotation, and then as the cursor is being dragged, move the corresponding annotation. I don't think this would really be any easier than the solution you proposed though.
