Background - I'm trying to highlight a Segment of points (via the segment.backgroundColor API) that are not necessarily a part of the graph.
if my data is
const data = [{ x: 1, y: 1}, {x: 3, y: 1}, {x: 5, y: 1}]
I'd like to highlight the segment between x == 2 and x == 4
To do this, I assume it'd be best to manually add {x: 2 y: 1} and {x: 4, y: 1} to the graph.
The problem - I don't know the y values x==2 and x==4 will need to have on the actual graph
My Question - Is there a way to ask charts.js to automatically derive the y values? either through config or the data points themselves, something like:
// NOT ACTUAL CODE
const data = [
{x: 1, y: 1},
{x: 3, y: 1},
{x: 5, y: 1},
{x: 4 y: 'auto/interpolate'},
{x: 2, y: 'auto/interpolate'}]
// NOT ACTUAL CODE
or
const datasets =
[{ data, autoInterpolateMissingPoints: true }] //NOT ACTUAL CODE
