Column Chart with Images on Top

Bullets in amCharts 5 are more than just a way to display geometric shapes over the data points. You can display anything inside the bullet – from a simple circle to a fully fledged sub-chart. In this demo we display images as bullet content.

Key implementation details

We create bullets with their sprite field set to a Picture object. For the Picture we pull image URLs from the data by specifying its templateField. Data contains the src field setting for the image bullet.
