Patterns in stacked bar chart - Deneb (Vega-lite)

Hi,
I am using Deneb (Vege-Lite) in PowerBI.
I am wondering if there is a way to use patterns in stacked bar chart (different to each category).
... It doesn't have to be a pattern - can be SVG file as background.

The pattern will be taken from field - different for each category.
Please check an example https://i.stack.imgur.com/rLTs2.png

Hello!

Just wondering if you ever managed to do this in Deneb. I'm having the same issue. 

Thanks!

Hi.
As far as I know you can have only one pattern with multiple colors.
I am talking about vega lite - maybe it's different with vega

The closest I've been able to get has been to create two seperate charts in vega lite and leyer them on top of one another. It looks nice but its inefficient. 

 

I'll probably try and invest in learning Vega instead.

still a smart work around 🙂

VEGA is much more powerful 

It is possible with Vega
