Add new annotation location AnnotationLocation.LEFT

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would like to be able to left justify a label inside a bar symbol.  

1.  AnnotationLocation.CENTER results in annotation centered in the bar
2.  AnnotationLocation.WEST results in annotation to the left of the bar
3.  AnnotationLocation.EAST results in annotation to the right of the bar

Would like an annotation location that results in the label inside the 
horizontal bar, but left justified instead of centered.

Seems like a good idea. Couple of ways to workaround to get same effect.

You can use setAnnotationXShift and setAnnotationYShift to explicitly position 
the annotations starting from some convenient starting point.

But a trickier but easier approach would be to set the widthUpperBound 
parameter on setAnnotationText or setAnnotationWidget to 0:

   getCurve().getPoint().setAnnotationText("The Annotation", 0, GChart.NAI);
   getCurve().getPoint().setAnnotationLocation(AnnotationLocation.WEST);

Setting the widthupperbound to 0 will force the annotation to extrude to the 
right of the attachment point (centered on the left edge) which should give you 
the effect you are after of inside-left. You may still need to use 
setAnnotationXShift to tweak the position a few pixels.
