Striplines – Create data tag for custom data

[siwatec]

It would be great if there was the possibility to add custom data (object) to striplines when adding them to the axis.

E.g. data that should not be displayed, but can be further used programmatically when iterating over all existing striplines on a chart axis.

@siwatec,

You can pass any custom property within striplines, which can then be accessed programmatically. For instance, you might include a custom property like “data” in your stripline object and this won’t be displayed, but it will be available for use in your code.

stripLines:[
    {                
        value: 1940,
        label: "In the 40s",
        data: "my stripline"
    }
]

The property can later be accessed through the chart options as chart.options.axisX.stripLines[0].data.

Thank you!

I mistakenly tried to access the data using chart1.axisX[0].stripLines[s], and there the additional data is not accessible.

Kind regards :)
