# Epilog->Text placement on LogLogPlot

Hopefully this is a simple question. I'm trying to overlay some text on top of a LogLogPlot using Epilog and Text. However, I'm struggling with the coordinates that Text seems to be using for placement. For example:

LogLogPlot[x + Sin[2x], {x, 1, 1000},
Epilog -> Style[Text["x+sin(2x)", {5, 5}], 14]]


places the label "x+sin(x)" at roughly {x,y}={150,150} on the plot's coordinate system, and not {5,5} as in the input. However, if I change the LogLogPlot to just Plot, the label will get placed at {5,5} (or wherever I specify). What's going on?

How it looks right now:

You have to use Log on the coordinates, this works: LogLogPlot[x + Sin[2 x], {x, 1, 1000}, Epilog -> Style[Text["x+sin(2x)", {Log[5], Log[5]}], 14]] – C. E. Jul 31 '13 at 22:01
@Anon You just beat me. If you want, I'll delete my answer and let you answer. ? – Michael E2 Jul 31 '13 at 22:03
@MichaelE2 I only beat you to it because I was too lazy to create that image. Your answer deserved to get accepted :) – C. E. Aug 1 '13 at 6:53

Apparently the Epilog is processed after the coordinate remapping. Log[{150., 150.}] ~ {5., 5.}. Try this if you want the label at {5, 5}:
LogLogPlot[x + Sin[2 x], {x, 1, 1000},

There's no need to search for it; just use Options[(*graphic*), CoordinatesToolOptions] – Mr.Wizard Jul 31 '13 at 22:25
