Add a Floating Column chart type for benchmark type charts #855

Open orwant opened 9 years ago

orwant commented 9 years ago 
What would you like to see us add to this API?

A floating column range chart like this:

http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/gallery/samples/Single-Series-Range-Column-Chart.html#html-view

so that you can chart benchmark related stats like min / max, or 25th to 75th ntile.
 Even better to allow thsi type to be combo enabled so you can draw a line through
the bars representing the median or average.

What component is this issue related to (PieChart, LineChart, DataTable,
Query, etc)?

new chart type.  floating Column type.

In a way you can achieve that today using Candlestick chart. Set the low/high values
to be identical to the open/close values. The tooltip won't look great, though.

Yeah, that is my current plan, not ideal, but gets the idea across I suppose.  Morningstar
uses the floating column with dots to denote performance of mutual funds within a peer
group, as do many rating agencies...anybody that benchmarks stuff.

I think the benchmark chart would be an important new visualization for google, a much
different chart than the candlestick.

i ended up using the candlestick and customizing the tooltip using column role (need
to have a new column with role of tooltip for each line in  your tooltip, but it looks
o.k.).  I still want the ability to plot a marker(s) in the middle of floating column
to represent median or average.

draft of chart is here (you need to register):
