Is this possible to draw custom polygons/shapes on a background image?

[rakunn]

Hello everyone,

Is this possible to draw custom polygons/shapes on an custom image in one visualization (chart)? I thought about this and I see following required steps:

  * Add background to a chart

  * Plot the data with correct X, Y coordinates and connect points to draw a a polygon

Here's what I did:

I successfully added background to scatter-plot, but couldn't see option to convert circles to shapes. Am I missing something? Should I use different chart or option in chart itself? Maybe there is a custom viz in the library?

To better visualize my question, here's an example below: 

You can see an image of a beer shop with some products marked by polygons. I would like to replicate this in PowerBI:

From your description, if you are wanting to mark specific areas in an image, the Synoptic Panel might be a suitable visual

Find it in the Custom Visuals marketplace or here.

There is an interesting blog post on it here as well:
