Is it possible to draw interactive path on heat map?

[ama@copperleaf]

I want to create chart using Hi Chart:

- in the background, I want to draw a heatmap
- then I want to overlay horizontal & vertical lines (black dashed lines); their value is based on the map value, and it is interactive so I can adjust it (which changes some threshold that will in turn change how the heatmap is colored)
- I want to also draw few paths diagonally cross the chart (note the diagonal path near when color patches change)
- also I want to switch visualization of the data to linear and logarithmic area chart

Is it possible to realize above functions using Hi Chart? I was able to draw a heatmap, but bit stuck on how to draw the paths - interactive and curved line.

Roughly this is what I want to recreate.

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

I recreated the chart you asked for. The dashed lines are draggable annotations and the paths that diagonally cross the chart are just simple spline series.

Regarding switching the visualization to area chart, please let me know, if you just want to have a button to switch the series type, or you mean something else? Also, please send me a demo of you chart with your exact data structure and than I will be able to help you.

Feel free to ask any further questions!
Best regards

Wow, I'm amazed at what Hi-chart is capable of. A further question, is it possible to visual the before mentioned chart in linear or logarithmic scale? I thought it is easy, but trying to set yAxis and xAxis with type: 'logarithmic' didn't work.

e.g. logarithmic view:

Hey,
I'm glad you like Highcharts!

You can use xAxis.type = 'logarithmic', but you need to set min values of your axes to more than 0, see:

If you want to achieve something similar to what you've sent on screenshot, it would be best to use arearange series:

Let me know if that was what you were looking for!
