Is it possible to chart the annual or quarterly dividend payout amounts on the same chart as the stock price or is this even available?

You can't plot the dollar amount of the dividends but you can plot Dividend Yield (Forward) and Dividend Yield (Trailing).  Plotting the yield normalizes the data.

What's the difference between the forward and trailing yield?

Dividend Yield (Trailing) - A financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment for a stock. Dividend yield is calculated as follows: Annual Dividends Per Share/Price Per Share.

Dividend Yield (Forward) - An estimation of a year's dividend expressed as a percentage of current stock price. The year's projected dividend is measured by taking a stock's most recent actual dividend payment and annualizing it. Forward dividend yield is calculated by dividing a year's worth of future dividend payments by a stock's current share price.
