Ability to have static data labels

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For my project I need the ability to print the chart, and would want the 
tooltip text to be printed.
So one way would be to disable mouse events and show all tooltips.  Or have 
datalabels that get rendered as text on the points.

Specifically I'm looking for a bar chart with this ability.  

Also I'd be interested enough to add this in myself if you could give me a few 
pointers on how to start.

I need the same thing on my charts.  Have been looking for the data label 
solution for the last 2 years.  elycharts is nice.  But the people who own it 
should address the end users issues and concerns.  Or at least show an example 
of one.

@bachd: elycharts is opensource: we developed it and DONATED for free to the 
opensource community. Unfortunately we don't have much time to dedicate to it 
but it would be good if anyone wants to provide patches/improvements.

There are many commercial alternatives to elycharts if you want "owners" 
addressing end user issues.

IIRC currently elychart use a single tooltip for a chart and change it's value 
dinamically in order to improve performance and reduce resource usage (and also 
to support tooltip transitions). So, in order to display all of the tooltips at 
the same time the whole thing must be changed. The current tooltip handing 
happens in elycharts_manager_tooltip.js , so a new manager should be written 
from scratch for a similar behaviour.

Unless someone contribute code for this feature I don't think we'll develop it 
as we don't have similar requirements in the projects using this library, sorry.
