Textbox locations on a MATLAB figure

I've been trying to add little textboxes with some variable values onto my graphs, like so in the bottom left and right corners:
And thus far, I've just been sort of guessing and checking on the coordinates for where to place the textboxes to get them in the bottom corners, is there a better/ more efficient way to do this that anyone knows of?

It might be easier if you use normalized units. Are you using GUIDE or App Designer?

Then how did you make your GUI? Did you do it programmatically (the hard way)?

Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not quite sure I know what you're referring by GUI. Are you referring to the textboxes that I placed on the figure?
If so, I used something like the following code:
figure(1)
% going to re-define the parameter values here, just for clarity.
N = 1000; g = 0.5; b = 10; MaxS = 150000; t_out = 500;
dim = [0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.05];
str = 'N = ' + string(N) + ', g = ' + string(g) + ', b = ' ...
+ string(b);
annotation('textbox', dim, 'String', str, 'FitBoxToText', 'on')
dim = [0.7, 0.01, 0.05, 0.05];
str = 'MaxS = ' + string(MaxS) + ', t_o_u_t = ' + string(t_out);
annotation('textbox', dim, 'String', str, 'FitBoxToText', 'on')
