That works. Thanks! I hadn't done much with in-line CSS yet. There is a little bit on this subject in the tooltipFormat Formatting Options section of this Ignition manual page:

Hi everyone, i was able to get the label above the bars of the XY chart. But when the number of categories changes the offset i provided didn’t fit for it. Say if i correctly keep the position ( dx, dy ) for 3 number category chart then for 5 number category chart, position does match. Do anyone know how to fix this.
