  Is it possible to draw such chart...

Dear All,

I'd like to know whether it is possible to generate some kind of stacked chart out of the box to look like the attached one. Or it would be hard achieve it? A legend would be nice also per background color.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,

The colors in your chart seems to distribute randomly and not in a definite order like that in
a stacked chart. So I think it is better to use a bubble chart with rectangular bubbles. You
can put all the "MEL" boxes in the same bubble layer. The position of the bubble is the
center of the rectangle. The width and height of the bubble can be configured as 1 x-axis
unit and 1 y-axis unit. You can configure the bubble to have the data set name "MEL" in the
center (use Layer.setDataLabelFormat and Layer.setDataLabelStyle and configure the label
to have center alignment). Once you can make one type of bubbles, you can use the same
code to make all the bubbles. The yellow axis can be created using bubbles too.

Hope this can help.
