If you want to specify alternative text to appear in a

text area is not available in this field, but you can
still use Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V to select all
the text, copy to the clipboard, cut to the clipboard or
paste from the clipboard, respectively. Note that the text may
occupy a larger or smaller area in the LaTeX document than it
does in Jpgfdraw, so you may also need to change the
anchor.
