barcharts and customising labels

[billferrett69]

I am developing an app, part of which specifies a period of time divided into intervals of varying length and difficulty. At present I am using a BarChart where each bar's width represents duration and the height reflects difficulty but divided into fixed zones. I have the basic structure working but annotating the bars with additional information such as zone, range of difficulty, etc is proving beyond me. When I have used plot::Text, the text is displayed until hovered over!, default labels are displayed in the "wrong" place and only when the bar is hovered over!

Is there some way to display formatted text in the bar that is continually displayed irrespective of where the cursor is?

The problem was resolved by switching from bar charts to use Polygons which was much more amenable to customization.
