To add a text box in Chart.js, you can use the annotation plugin that comes with the library. Here's how you can do it:

  1. First, include the Chart.js library in your HTML file. You can download it from the Chart.js website or include it from a CDN.
  2. Next, include the annotation plugin in your HTML file. You can download it from the Chart.js website or include it from a CDN.
  3. Create a canvas element in your HTML file where you want the chart to be displayed:
1
<canvas id="myChart"></canvas>


  1. Create a JavaScript file where you will write the code to create the chart and add the text box. Here's an example of how you can create a simple line chart with a text box:

var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');

var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',
    data: {
        labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'],
        datasets: [{
            label: 'Sales',
            data: [10, 20, 15, 30, 25, 35, 40],
            borderColor: 'blue'
        }]
    },
    options: {
        responsive: true,
        annotation: {
            annotations: [{
                type: 'line',
                mode: 'vertical',
                scaleID: 'x-axis-0',
                value: 'March',
                borderColor: 'red',
                borderWidth: 2,
                label: {
                    content: 'This is a text box',
                    enabled: true
                }
            }]
        }
    }
});


  1. In this example, we created a line chart with sales data for different months. We added a vertical line at the 'March' label with a red color and a text box that says 'This is a text box'.
  2. Finally, include the JavaScript file in your HTML file:
1
<script src="path/to/your/script.js"></script>


  1. Open the HTML file in a web browser to see the chart with the text box.
