Highlighting zones in a scatter chart

[#1]

Dear community,

How is it possible to highlight zones on a scatter chart like in this image? I created markers with reference lines, but it's not really what's required.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

The only way I know of is to create a background image with the zones and use that image as plot background. That will of course only work if you know the scales in advance and can make sure the scatter chart will use those fixed scales.

That looks too complicated to adjust the scales with the background image, sure I had not thought of it!

Maybe with dynamic markers/ reference lines?

You can create dynamic reference lines, but that will only give you lines, not a different background color.

Hi Gysbert,

How to create dynamic lines? you mean the refrence lines?

Yes, I mean the reference lines. You can enter a static value for a reference line. But you can also use an expression that returns a value. You can make your expression use selections and calculate an appropriate value that fits in the scale.
