I'm trying to indicate the current price on the y-axis of a line chart. How do I place the label on the axis outside the plot?

I have tried the value marker but it doesn't extend outside the chart.

This is what I'm trying to achieve.

The expected output

this is what I have right now

Can you add a `ChartMouseListener` and update an adjacent component, for [example](https://stackoverflow.com/a/28926590/230513)? – trashgod Mar 28 '19 at 22:44
@trashgod this should be done on price change not on mouse click – Fash May 09 '19 at 09:12
Handle updates in `chartMouseMoved()`. – trashgod May 09 '19 at 09:15
@trashgod thanks for the quick reply. How do I align the coordinates of the adjacent component with the chart. – Fash May 09 '19 at 09:23
AFAIK, you can't; you'll have to recapitulate the details in the adjacent component. – trashgod May 09 '19 at 09:43
@trashgod can i overlay a Jlabel on the chartpanel? – Fash May 09 '19 at 10:15
I never tried. Why not a tooltip, annotation or title? – trashgod May 09 '19 at 17:03
