hi Peter,
I would like to add some descriptive text to my finance chart.

How hard would it be to expand the area to the left of the Y-Axis, and then add a bunch of text in there?

Attached is what I would like the chart to look like.

Thanks!

If possible, I'd like to take advantage of CDML, but, not required.

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

You can use FinanceChart.setMargins to configure a large margin on the left side. You can then use BaseChart.addText to add CDML text at the margin space.
