Yes, it's possible. You just need to add another visual into compilition pipeline and import required dependencies.

That doesn't sound like its terribly complicated but I'm afraid I don't understand. Could you give a more detailed answer?

    What custom visual do you want to inherit?

        You just need to install Chiclet Slicer as a dependency via NPM. After that please add TS files into your tsconfig.json. Please do the same for externalJS from pbiviz.json.

         

        After these steps you will be able to import Chiclet Slicer to inherit it.
