Add images to wordcloud

Hey there,

I created a wordcloud handling image in addition to text. To do so, I had to customise 2 wordcloud specific functions ( i.e. drawPoints() and deriveFontSize() - see here : https://github.com/highcharts/highchart ... es.ts#L273) which might not be ideal. With that in mind, I got a few questions :

1. I might have miss something - Is there a built-in way to show images in a wordcloud ?

2. If not, is there a reason why this feature has not been implemented yet ? Anything that justifies not having it in ?

Best,
Mathias

Re: Add images to wordcloud

Hi Mathias_,

Welcome to our forum and thanks for contacting us with your question!

1. Unfortunately wordcloud series is created only to present string values, so you need to add your custom code to adapt it to display images.
2. It's hard to say why this option is not available, but if you think it should be implemented, you can post this idea in our user voice https://highcharts.uservoice.com/ or create a feature request on github.

Let me know if you have any further questions,
Regards!
