label text is overwritten by annotation lines

[dankell]

We're adding vertical "date markers" to our charts. It's all going well apart from where the markers are close enough for the lines to overlap the labels.

In these cases the line cuts through the labels - is there any way to bring the labels in front of the lines?

Not currently. If you'd like to take a crack at it, we'll entertain a PR. Thanks!

I'm encountering this as well. In our use case it happens pretty frequently as the annotated points are often close.

Any update on this? The annotation line is cutting right through the data labels

Is it coming soon?

@nerkess it was implemented in #275 as you should see from the last line before your comment.
That was released in https://github.com/chartjs/chartjs-plugin-annotation/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta
We are currently at beta.4
