Is it possible to add a textbox outside the axes of a plot figure window?

I have tried the command "text(x,y,'String')" but that requires a specific location and my figure window plots always have different axes numbers.
I would like this textbox to always appear outside the axes as well (along the grey left part of the figure window)
How can this be done?

You forgot to mention, if you want to display the text relative to an axes or to the figure, or absolute in the figure etc. Settign the text location is easy, but it is hard to explain as long, as we have to guess, what you want exactly.

figure;
plot(rand(5, 1))
annotation('textbox', [0, 0.5, 0, 0], 'string', 'My Text')

Change your figure units to pixels and then it'll be consistent.
H = figure;
set(H,'units','pix','size',...)
%etc.

When I do H=figure;plot(1:10);get(h,'units'), it returns 'pixels'. Should it be any one of the others?
[ inches | centimeters | normalized | points | {pixels} | characters ]

You have a capital H and a lowercase h, fyi. Maybe it's the axes that should be in pixels instead of normalized?
