Data Display over Image Widget

I am trying to display sensor data over an image widget. I have an image of a motor and I would like to display motor temperature over a image of the motor. I have added a image widget but cannot not add any other widgets over the image? Is there a way to do it?

ok for that just put z index of the image more by just one level which you want top of other, e.g image1 want to be top on image2 then image1- Z index 10 and image2- Z index 9. in your case  motor index 9 and widget z index 10.

Put your image in a panel.  Then put your value display widget in the same panel and set it's zindex value to something high--like 100.  You can move your value display widget over your image.

keep z index of your motor widget less than the z index of the text widget. it like relative to each other ,the widget which have less z index value will be in background or goes behind the widget which have higher z index value.

Thanks for the clarification on the Z-index. I am having trouble putting the widget to display values at the right location over the image i.e., I want the motor temperature to be displayed over the motor and flow to displayed on pipe. How do I do that?
