You would do something similar but use the category text annotation:`from org.jfree.chart.annotations import CategoryTextAnnotation
chart = event.source.parent.getComponent("Chart")
plot = chart.getChart().getCategoryPlot()
plot.addAnnotation(CategoryTextAnnotation("Hello World", "Category", 25.0))`
