Re: How to add overlay icons to charts

[asgallant]

You can't add icons to the chart, but perhaps annotations would work for you (see example here)?  Annotations can be made on the axis instead of data points, too, if that works better for you than the example.

Hi,

with a combochart I'm displaying a line chart and a bar chart. On that kind of data I'm displaying, following a spacial algorithm there are a couple of x coordinates that are relevant to who is seeing the chart because they indicates a special situation.

I would like to put an icon over the x axis on those values as indicator for the reader. But is there a way to overlay an icon to the chart? I even tried with a scatter chart as third chart of the combo, using as its data all nulls except for the two x points where I would the marker to be displayed and using the y axis minimum as value.

But it does not work, or at least I'm not able to make it work. Is there a more direct solution like "add this icon to the point x and y)?

Thank very much, Stefano Lissa.
