+
+Add TeX annotation to an existing Makie Axis. Under the hood, it does a few things:
+
+1. via `mathspec` LaTeX package, we set the `mainfont` and `mathfont`
+2. Render it using `tectonic_jll` and convert to an image matrix.
+3. call `Makie.scatter!` and using the image as `marker`, scale the image by `scale_factor` while preserving aspec ratio.
+
+    !!! note
+You can use `\textcolor` from `xcolor` inside the latex string.
