I've done a few examples of this sort of thing that could possibly help:  
• [Example 1](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/vision-chart-not-easychart-min-max-date/70606/12): Here I use xy annotation to make custom xtrace labels that move with the xtrace crosshair  
• [Example 2](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/change-each-bar-width-in-histogram-chart/66847/33): In this example, I place actual PMILabels in the chart, so they correspond with a varied bar position. Later in the thread, after the OP changed chart types, I also do [another xy annotation example](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/change-each-bar-width-in-histogram-chart/66847/39).

My guess is that the actual labels will be a better approach for what you are trying to do, since it appears that you are wanting the labels to be outside of the plot.
