+Subject: analyze: plot: place the text on the side with most space
+
+Set the width of the svg to always fit the longest string
+while taking its starting position into consideration.
+
+Place the text on the right while the starting point is
+in the first half of the screen. After that we put it on
+the left to save the svg from being wider that it has to.
