 `options.ProjectID` is the project number (string or char), if empty the ID from the config file is used
 The ID is placed on the 'east' of the figure per default, if you want it somwhere else, use the `'Location'` option. 'north', 'east', 'south', 'west' are predefined, otherwise use the `'custom'` option and provide the desired 'Position'  as a vector relative to your x- and y-axis limits `[relX, relY]` .
+
+`options.PinToLegend` pins the ID to the figure's legend. If no legend was defined, plotID will create one.
