Hi Liu,

As the error message says: Grasshopper does not support an annotation text dot objects.

You can use it in the "Rhino Python Editor", though.

Try feeding the Grasshopper's component "Text" with strings and points from Python output component:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import random

# empty output lists
ij = []
pts = []

for i in range(x):
    for j in range(y):
        # generating string
        text = "(" + str(i) + "," + str(j) + ")"
        ij.append(text)
        # generating point
        x = random.randint(0,20)
        y = random.randint(0,20)
        pt = rs.AddPoint([x,y,0])
        pts.append(pt)
