Aug 17, 2015 at 4:58 comment added Jens Yes to both. E.g., try Graphics3D[myText["{1,0,0}",{0,0,0},Padding->20,Background->Directive[Opacity[.5],Red]],Background->LightBlue]. Or SetOptions[myText,Background->LightOrange].
Aug 17, 2015 at 4:49 comment added David Did you define myText as you did with all those OptionValues so that you can override the options later with something like Options[myText] = {Background -> Yellow, Padding -> 1, FrameStyle -> None}; And would you put your original code in initialization cells at the top of your notebook or what?

function defined
Aug 17, 2015 at 4:09 comment added Jens Sure, your best bet is to define a function. I'll add that...
Aug 17, 2015 at 4:02 comment added David I think this is what I need. However, that's a lot of stuff to type each time you want to put a label in your diagram. Is it possible for a single line of code (and where to put it, initialization or whatever) so that every time I typed something like Text["(1,0,0)",{1,0,0}] all that other stuff would get filled in? Or is there a way to minimize some of it? Thanks for the help.
