How to add text to a chart?

[tippyyy]

Is it possible to add text to a chart? We have a couple of color blind users, and as far as our developers know, there's no way to add text directly on top of the chart values. I find it hard to believe that Splunk doesn't have this basic accessibility feature. Would appreciate any input on this. 

Screenshots of what is currently happening vs what we would like to achieve. Thanks.

Hi Kamlesh,

Thanks for your help. Is there another Splunk product besides Dashboard studio that will allow text on a chart? (I'm a product designer so not familiar with all the Splunk functionalities) Thanks.

Here I will suggest going with Simple XML Dashboards. It will provide you with the extensive capability of custom visualization, with 3rd party lib as well. Please check the below link for the same.

For Dashboard Studio, right now there is no provision for such representation in Marker gauge options.
