Hi Bram, We don't have a way of highlighting the background, but you can get the same effect by drawing an "area" series with nulls everywhere except for the interval you want to highlight.
With a 'date' or 'datetime' type axis, it is possible to draw the tick labels between the gridlines, at least in some situations. See this example: https://jsfiddle.net/dlaliberte/ksnd7abx/1/ Dates and times are drawn in different ways depending on the scale. Unfortunately, the context of the current year is not always displayed, but you can add something to your axis title instead. See more about formatting ticks for dates and times here: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/datesandtimes#formatting-axis-gridline-and-tick-labels On Fri, May 27, 2016 at 10:04 AM, Bram Patelski <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Anyone know how to highlight a part of the chart's background as a > vertical column? > > I'm building a PoC for a scatter-chart where I need to plot crosshairs on > a timeline. > It displays a timespan of about a year ranging 12 months, with somewhere > around 2/3 of the chart, we display the current month. > May also need to figure out a way to display intervals on the x-axis > instead of dates, with the month's name in the middle. > Is there a way to highlight the current month or any month?
