Provide a "Left Justify" option to the Graphic Text() function

What inspired this wish list request? 

When adding text to a display output or to a Graph Box() it is fairly easy to find the starting point on the graph where a text value is to be placed, however the Text() function only currently allows for Center Justify or Right Justify.  Currently, the positioning of text on the left edge of the display frame requires one to calculate the length of the text in characters and then to do some sort of estimating of how that length in characters relates to the X scaling of the graph

 

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Allow:

Names Default To Here( 1 );
New Window( "Example",
	Graph Box(
		Text Color( "red" );
		Text( Left Justified, {50, 20}, "Left" );
	)
);

 

Why is this idea important? 

This would make adding text to output much cleaner to implement.
