WISH: An option for Text Tag to be higher priority in the display pipeline

Hi David,

Sometimes I want the Text Tags to be hidden behind objects but on other occasions, like this example, I would like them to be dominant.

If anyone's wondering this Grasshopper definition takes a hull form either modelled or imported in Rhino and calculates the wind coefficients for use in our Maneuvering Software. It would be nice to use the display as a figure to show the Profile and Frontal Area results with out any further user interaction.

Turning out to be surprisingly difficult. "priority" doesn't have much to do with it, stuff is depth-buffered.

After lengthy deliberations with Jeff, this seems to be impossible, at least without significant modifications and breakages to the Grasshopper display logic. Sorry.
