I'd seen that example, but it looked like it was attaching text at specific data coordinates, and the text moves with the data.
I wanted my text to be floating over the data (or more likely, floating over an absence of data) centered in the visible plot area, not attached to any specific point. Looking at that example again, I noticed the comment in at the top of the file: "For text that can be placed in a layout, use LabelItem". I looked through the source code for LabelItem usage examples but I didn't see much.
