Re: Private message regarding: Custom Data Points / Shapes in Google Scatter Chart API / Any suggestion

[Jaaba]

Hi Daniel

Restarting this thread again.

Could you please explain / guide me how to add images icons to a Visualization LineChart (like adding custom push pins on map chart)

Meaning, based on the data source (if the entry is important, show a flag icon, if it has notes, show a notepad icon etc...)

I appreciate your help . Thanks for doing this great work. Its very helpful for my project. I'm almost done except this above question. Thanks again

Oh sorry I misunderstood.  The documentation for pointShapes that you included does apply to all the corecharts, including google.visualization.LineChart and google.visualization.ScatterChart.  The first example on that page shows how to do it with a LineChart, but it doesn't matter in this case because each point is the only one in its series. The ScatterChart is really the same as LineChart but without the lines.   

The PointShapes feature doesn't yet apply to the Material charts, google.charts.Line, google.charts.Scatter, and google.charts.Bar, however.

Hi Jafar,

We are not doing any development on the deprecated google image charts, so if you want point shapes, you'll have to switch to using the Google Charts.

Hi

I have a requirement to build a chart (assume google scatter chart fits for this) as shown below.  (attached the same if its not clear)

Its  based on DateTime (X axis)  and integer value (Y axis from 1 to 10).  Based on some data we should have custom markers (pointShapes). Bud I don't see a way to change point shape markers / size in scatter chart. 

I need help with

1. Whats the best way to display the following data in the given graph format ( will scatter chart work / should i stick with google api or any other open source options suggestions ?)

2. Is it possible to change pointshape to custom shapes / images if needed using scatter chart

I looked at custom datapoints but it seems like  that applies only to LINECHART https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/points 

And I learned that google image chart is deprecated where we have an option to change point shape :( https://developers.google.com/chart/image/docs/gallery/scatter_charts 

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Jaffar
