Description

Hello,

I was wondering whether is it possible to change the color blending-mode of traces so that overlapping data points are "cancelled out".
For instance, in this plot I would like to mix blue and yellow points so that they cancel each other out by producing white. I've tried lowering opacity but it didn't help.

Can you suggest anything ?

Kind Regards

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the linked Plotly chart and comparing overlapping blue and yellow traces with the attempted opacity setting. Done would require a defined, supported blending-mode behavior that produces the requested visual result.
