Example:
Pointers
- Ideally, you start prototyping in a scripting or notebook environment where you can iterate fast. installation instructions can be found here: https://plotly.net/#Installation
- Charts like this that are using baseline trace types to create a new chart type should only be implemented in the top-level Chart API. An example where this is already done is the Range chart that combines a set of differently styled line charts.
- When possible, use
#IConvertible
for data input, as this allows forstring
s, number types such asint
andfloat
, andDateTime
.

Hints (click to expand if you need additional pointers)
- The most suitable base chart for this is a set of line charts that each connect the two data points by a line
- The high-level function should look quite similar to the base implementation of
Chart.Range
