Interactive Chart tool - Shading

[rbasaria]

Hello. I am trying to figure out if doing some custom shading is possible. The shading options are pretty minimal. I tried going through the XML with no success. I've created this chart and want to add shading between the blue and next line below it, similar to the second image.

Also, is it possible to change the lines from solid lines to dashed lines? Not a deal breaker, but would be nice.

 

Thanks for any assistance!

Hey @rbasaria, does this need to be dynamic or just for the blue line? If it's the latter then, after splitting your lines out, you can find it in 'Layer' and define the shade area as the Previous Y:

I'm not aware of dashed lines being possible but will keep an eye here as I'm curious to see if it is possible!

Ok, this kind of helps me understand the Previous Y thing better. Seems like it is filling in the space between this line and the layer above it?

It does need to be dynamic. In this case, I would need it to highlight between the Blue and Orange lines near the left side, and that switches to Blue and Purple toward the middle, and then Blue and Red toward the end.

Maybe there is a way I can force it by taking the highest value between all datasets for a specific point and creating a line from that. I will try.

Also, would be nice if we could order the layers after creating them. Seems like I have to re-do them all if I want to change the order.

Alright, this works. I created a new field called Shading, and populated it with the highest number between the 5 fields. Then I used the Shading field as my second layer, with the line of interest as the first. Then built the rest of my lines using other layers. Selected the Previous Y on the Shading layer, and here we are! Thanks!!
