Column Chart Values Over Bar

[lucentminds]

I want to be able to take a column chart display the value of each
column either above each column or superimposed over each bar itself.
Are there options in the Google Charts that would allow that, or can
anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do it.

If all of the charts are just svg, then maybe I can alter the svg
markup?

The charts do not support this.  If you are a brave and enterprising soul, you can dive into the SVG and try to add them yourself.  You'll need something like jQuery to get at the contents of the iframe the charts are built in (and I believe there is an SVG plugin for jQuery as well).

This is no easy task, and I wish you the best of luck.

Personally, I found it easier to layer images or divs on top of the chart and position them with CSS.
