Research direction

Start by checking the CategoryStyler entry point and the setHasAnnotations(true) call shown in the report, then compare the available API with the chart type being used. Verify whether the method exists for this styler and identify the expected annotation behavior; done means the reported code has a documented, supported path or the limitation is clearly recorded.

Description

Hy I tried to use setHasAnnotations but have an error..
This is my code

    // Create Chart
    CategoryChart chart = new CategoryChartBuilder().width(800).height(600).title("Score Histogram").xAxisTitle("Score").yAxisTitle("Number").build();
 
    // Customize Chart
    chart.getStyler().setLegendPosition(LegendPosition.OutsideE);
    chart.getStyler().setLegendVisible(false);
    
    //Setta il titolo "vuoto" e anche delle serie
    chart.setTitle("");
    chart.setXAxisTitle("");
    chart.setYAxisTitle("");
    
    //Set background color area esterna al grafico
    Color b = new Color(235,235,235);
    chart.getStyler().setChartBackgroundColor(b);
    //Set background color area interna al grafico
    chart.getStyler().setPlotBackgroundColor(b);
    
    //Setta la doppia riga dei dati ad invisible
    chart.getStyler().setAxisTicksLineVisible(false);
    //Setta visible o meno i dati di riferimenento delle serie
    //chart.getStyler().setAxisTicksVisible(false);
    
    //Setta visible il bordo esterno del grafico
    chart.getStyler().setPlotBorderVisible(false);
    
    //Setta invisible le righette interne al grafico
    chart.getStyler().setPlotGridLinesVisible(false);
    
    Color[] c = new Color[] {new Color(82,148,165)};
    chart.getStyler().setSeriesColors(c);
    
    //Setta il colore del testo delle scritte in x e y
    Color t = new Color(64,65,66);
    chart.getStyler().setAxisTickLabelsColor(t);
    //Setta il font del testo delle scritte in x e y
    chart.getStyler().setAxisTickLabelsFont(new Font("Segoe Ui", 0, 11));
    
    
    chart.getStyler().setHasAnnotations(true);
    // Series
    chart.addSeries("test 1", Arrays.asList(new String[] { "Rep1", "Rep2", "Rep3", "Rep4", "Rep5" }), Arrays.asList(new Integer[] { 4, 5, 9, 6, 5 }));

This line chart.getStyler().setHasAnnotations(true); gives me the error "The method setHasAnnotations(boolean) is undefined for the type CategoryStyler" and suggests me to CAST to chart.getStyler()
Any idea ?
