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):

```auto
	from org.jfree.chart.labels import StandardXYItemLabelGenerator
	
	chart.getPlot().getRenderer().setItemLabelGenerator(StandardXYItemLabelGenerator())
	chart.getPlot().getRenderer().setBaseItemLabelsVisible(True)

```
