Is there a way to show the same info you see in the X-trace for all points of a chart? Basically have a label at each point?
I doubt this is going to work quite the way you want, but try this code as a starting point (in the configureChart function):
from org.jfree.chart.labels import StandardXYItemLabelGenerator
chart.getPlot().getRenderer().setItemLabelGenerator(StandardXYItemLabelGenerator())
chart.getPlot().getRenderer().setBaseItemLabelsVisible(True)

Thanks! This will for sure point me in the correct direction.
