  Adding annotations to finance charts

Hi there,

Is there a support for plotting custom things on the charts? E.g. I'd like to put some red dots and text labels next to a particular candle in the candlestick chart.
If yes, could you please provide the API docs or example.

Thanks.

Hope this can help.
