This function automatically adds tags to a graph from a text wave. You must specify the graph name ("" for top graph) as a string, the trace name to be labeled as a string, and the text wave that the labels should come from. The labelWave should have at least as many points as the wave to be labeled.

Function AddTagsFromWave(graphName, traceName, labelWave)
	String graphName
	String traceName
	Wave/T labelWave
 
	Wave w = TraceNameToWaveRef(graphName, traceName)
 
	Variable index
	for(index = 0; index < numpnts(w); index+=1)
		String tagName = "label" + num2str(index)
		Tag/C/N=$tagName/F=0/TL=0 $traceName, index, labelWave[index]
	endfor
End
