I'm wanting to replicate a bar chart done in Power BI using google charts, and one of the features I am attempting to implement is this filter effect as shown by the two pictures I've attached a link to.
I can add example data in a reply if necessary, but the concept is that the bar chart before shows 100% of data made up of sub categories, and on selecting a category from a drop down menu, the percentage coming from that sub category is highlighted while the rest is made transparent. I've searched through the Google Charts documentation and previous questions however I haven't found any information on how to implement this or if this effect is even possible. The controls included in the API seem to only be able to redraw the chart entirely, not keep the chart and highlight the portion filtered.
I've considered having two charts overlaid on top of each other, with the chart on top changing based on the user category selection and the chart on bottom remaining static, however, I'm not sure if that implementation is optimal or possible. Ideally, I would also be able to replicate this effect on other categorical based charts, such as a pie chart. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on a workaround in order to create a similar effect, or some input on whether this effect is even possible using the google charts API and JavaScript/HTML/CSS.
