Reference lines with slope in scatter plot
Hi,
it is somehow possible to add one or more reference lines with a slope (not parallel to X or Y axis) to a scatter plot, similar to the image below?
I would like to understand, at glance, how many points of the scatter fall in a sector.
One solution is to find a .PNG image online of a perfect 45 degree line with a white background. Then, use this image as your plot area background with an "Fit" image style. Not a perfect solution, but this displays a line with a slope equal to 1. Example:

fpennisi17 check the analytics pane and I think that is where you can add lines.

This is not the case.
The only available options I have are:
- Tendency line, which represents a linear interpolation
- Reference parallel to X axis
- Reference parallel to Y axis
- Symmetric shadowing, which provides only two areas and I cannot control the slope
This is why I was asking...
fpennisi17 unfortunately, if it is not in the analytical pane then there is no way to add lines (afaik).
