I am trying to add text to the line chart view. I think I should be able to make a text source and have it behave like it does in render view. But when create a source, click on the line chart view, and turn on visibility I don’t see the text and also don’t see the normal settings like font and size for the text making me think the text source is not supported in the line chart view. Is there a way to do this? I’m using 5.8.1 on linux.

Text annotations in charts is a feature available on the `master` branch and it will be in ParaView 5.9, but I’m afraid it is not available in 5.8.1.
