Background image for 2D chart

Post by Lightit » Tue Apr 07, 2015 5:45 pm

It is possible to place a background image to a special range of a 2D chart i.e. left upper edge start at 170,20 and right lower edge ends at 300,600. Y axis is reverse. The range outside should be white. Zooming inside the chart should also zoom the background image. Which example i can use? The image is a png from a map. In the chart i have to draw some routes as lines with symbols.

That's possible, yes.

See this example:

It is using empty countries fills, and background photo shows through.


The placement of background image can be made with these properties:
