Description
Improve ability to obscure text, icons behind mounts, ridges, etc.
- Shift the icons up long the ray direction so information is sitting above the path / surface.
- Shift the icons up in screen space by the radius
- Pull the position of the glyphs toward the camera (allows for pointers to the icon locations)

Research direction
Start by locating MVTAnnotationsPlugin and reviewing how annotation glyph positions are computed. Compare the three requested adjustments: shifting icons along the ray, shifting them in screen space by the radius, and pulling glyph positions toward the camera. Done means text and icons are more visible behind mounts or ridges while pointers can still indicate their locations.
