I've seen a demonstration of the "Igor" program from WaveMetrics which I
believe will do just what you want.  See MacWeek pg 57, January 24, 1989
(and the two previous issues, I think).  Notice the text boxes added to
the graphs.  I know that it prints multiple graphs to a page and does
X-Y plots, has arrows, etc.

From MacWEEK:
