highcharts: Add marker to a x-range chart

I want to create a dumbbell chart using highcharts.
I used x-range chart for this
here is the link: https://jsfiddle.net/thushara07/nLkxa0wr/15/
series: [{
// name: 'Project 3',
// pointPadding: 0,
// groupPadding: 0,
//borderColor: 'gray',
pointWidth: 5,
data: [{
x: 32,
x2: 33,
y: 0,
// partialFill: 0.25
}, {
x: 44,
x2:45,
y: 1
}, {
x:30,
x2: 32,
y: 2
}],
dataLabels: {
align: 'left',
enabled: true
}
}]
expected output: I want to show markers for each line created as shown
(https://images.app.goo.gl/LAKQBdsaKBH2hjS59
)

It can be done by adding additional scatter series that is linked to x-range:
Code:
Highcharts.chart('container', {
yAxis: {
title: {
text: ''
},
categories: ['Prototyping', 'Development', 'Testing'],
reversed: true
},
series: [{
type: 'xrange',
pointWidth: 5,
id: 'main',
data: [{
x: 32,
x2: 33,
y: 0
}, {
x: 44,
x2: 45,
y: 1
}, {
x: 30,
x2: 32,
y: 2
}],
dataLabels: {
align: 'center',
enabled: true
}
}, {
type: 'scatter',
linkedTo: 'main',
marker: {
radius: 5
},
data: [{
x: 32,
y: 0,
color: 'red'
}, {
x: 33,
y: 0,
color: 'grey'
}, {
x: 44,
y: 1,
color: 'red'
}, {
x: 45,
y: 1,
color: 'grey'
}, {
x: 30,
y: 2,
color: 'red'
}, {
x: 32,
y: 2,
color: 'grey'
}]
}]
});

HighCharts :(Solid Gauge) How to generate gauge dial with an arrow end.

I am trying to create a custom data dial using high charts ( solid gauge ).
Please help me .
I am unable to generate an arrow end like tip dial of solid gauge. This is my current chart :
Updated Code : Please copy paste the code in the fiddle link provided below:
$(function() {
var gaugeOptions = {
chart: {
type: 'solidgauge',
height: 80,
width: 120,
backgroundColor: null
},
title: null,
pane: {
center: ['50%', '60%'],
size: '100%',
startAngle: -90,
endAngle: 90,
background: {
innerRadius: '60%',
outerRadius: '100%',
shape: 'arc'
}
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
tooltip: {
enabled: false
},
plotOptions: {
solidgauge: {
dataLabels: {
y: 5,
borderWidth: 0,
useHTML: true
}
},
gauge: {
dial: {
baseWidth: 1,
topWidth: 1
},
pivot: {
radius: 3,
borderWidth: 1
}
}
}
};
// The speed gauge
$('#container-speed').highcharts(Highcharts.merge(gaugeOptions, {
yAxis: {
min: 0,
max: 5,
tickPositions: [],
plotBands: [{ // mark the weekend
color: {
linearGradient: [0, 0, 300, 0],
stops: [
[0.1, '#55BF3B'], // green
[0.2, '#DDDF0D'], // yellow
[0.3, '#DF5353']
]
},
from: 0,
to: 5,
innerRadius: '60%',
outerRadius: '100%',
}],
},
series: [{
name: 'Ship Average',
type: 'gauge',
data: [2],
color: {
linearGradient: [0, 0, 300, 0],
stops: [
[0.1, '#55BF3B'], // green
[0.25, '#DDDF0D'], // yellow
[0.4, '#DF5353']
]
},
dataLabels: {
format: '<span style="font-size:10px;color:grey;">{y} delays</span></div>',
y: 30,
borderWidth: 0
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ' days'
}
}]
}));
});

Expected result :

You can realize it by wrapping dial method (translate) and edit path.
point.shapeArgs = {
d: dialOptions.path || [
'M', -rearLength, -baseWidth / 2,
'L',
baseLength, -baseWidth / 2,
radius, -topWidth / 2,
radius - 10, -topWidth / 2 - 10,
'M',
radius, -topWidth / 2,
'L',
radius - 10, -topWidth / 2 + 10,
'M',
radius, -topWidth / 2,
baseLength, baseWidth / 2, -rearLength, baseWidth / 2,
'z'
],

Javascript library for multiple factor legend plot

I am trying to draw a plot with multiple factors. I hope these different factors are distinguished by color, size, and shape of the scatter. An example of this kind of plot is here https://github.com/slfan2013/tempPlot/blob/master/Rplot.png.
I'd like to use a javascript library to draw a similar plot. I usually use plotly.js to draw plots. But I think plotly can only handle one factor at a time (different colors). My question is can plotly handle multiple (nested) factors in one single plot (like color, size, and shape)? If not, if there is any javascript library can achieve these? How about CanvasJS?
#### EDIT.
I understand how to draw scatter with different color and different size (shape, etc) on the same plot. I just would like to have a multiple-factor legend on the plot, so that if I click "red", for example, then the red scatters would hide no matter what size it is AND if I click size "big", big scatters would hide no matter what color it is.
Thanks!

This can be done in CanvasJS using scatter chart and by controlling markerType and markerSize. Check the example shown below.
Refer these pages for markerType and markerSize.

var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer",

You would just need to define multiple traces and set the parameters for each trace individually.
trace0 is just the default settings
trace1 has a custom color
trace2 has a custom color and custom size
trace3 has a custom color, custom size and custom symbol
var trace0 = {
x: [1, 2, 3],
y: [1, 2, 3],
type: 'scatter',
mode:'markers'};
var trace1 = {
x: [1, 2, 3],
y: [2, 1.8, 1],
type: 'scatter',
mode:'markers',
marker: {
color: 'red'
}};
var trace2 = {
x: [1, 2, 3],
y: [2.8, 2.3, 1.2],
type: 'scatter',
mode:'markers',
marker: {
color: 'green',
size: [10, 15, 20]
}};
var trace3 = {
x: [1, 2, 3],
y: [3, 2.5, 1],
type: 'scatter',
mode:'markers',
marker: {
color: 'pink',
size: [10, 15, 20],
symbol: 303
}};
Plotly.plot('myDiv', [trace0, trace1, trace2, trace3])
<div id='myDiv'></div>

Gauge chart with steps of colors

How can I achieve this using highcarts? tired using stops:[...] but it will not work as above image.
yAxis: {
min: 0,
max: 100
},
series: [{
name: 'customers',
data: [{
color: {
//
linearGradient: { x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 1, y2: 0},
stops: [
[0.1, '#009a60'],
[0.2, '#4aa84e'],
[0.3, '#92b73a'],
[0.4, '#c6bf22'],
[0.5, '#edbd02'],
[0.6, '#ffad00'],
[0.7, '#ff8c00'],
[0.8, '#fc6114'],
[0.9, '#f43021'],
[1.0, '#ed0022']
]
},
y:76
}],
dataLabels: {
format: '<div class="prc" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:normal; font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial; font-size:52px;' +
'#333' + '">{y}</span>'
}
}]

One way of getting this char could be to use axis line and ticks to cover a chart to create white spaces. Next you could add more points and set stops with a color format that is not supported for a gradient - like hex color format with 3 digits ("#rgb").

how to adjust the tickposition or 'x' axis on areapline highchart

The situation with my char is that currently the tick marks are positioned according to my "tickposition" paramenter, they displayed what I want but the problem is that for example the tick mark on '50' should be right on the middle of the chart, below the 50% bubble. So my chart looks off center.
I am not sure if the type of chart I am using is the correct one or how to approach this problem. I am super new on Highcharts.
Here is what I have:
http://jsfiddle.net/cjwh/hu1t8159/15/
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
xAxis: {
tickPositions: [250, 500, 750, 1000],

return this.value / 10;
}

}, function (chart) { // on complete

Would anyone happen to give me an example of what to change, ideally an example on the form of a jsfiddle would be really helpful.
Thanks!!!!

To expand on my comment:
1) You know, in your example, that 50% is 430. You can determine from that what 25, 75, and 100% are.
2) You can set the values of those percentages as your tickPositions array.
3) You will need to map the values to the % that you want to display in your labels
A very quick and dirty example:
var x100 = 860;
var x75 = (x100 * .75);
var x50 = (x100 * .5 );
var x25 = (x100 * .25);
var vals = {};
vals[x100] = '100';
vals[x75 ] = '75';
vals[x50 ] = '50';
vals[x25 ] = '25';
You can then use this object in your label formatter to display the correct value.
