Hi Claudio:
I used a similar technique with a “rect” mark at the desired coordinates with separate stroke and fill colours in a recent post to the Deneb Showcase forum section.
Here’s the code snippet for the mark in my example:
{
"name": "NOTE_HORIZONTAL_RECTANGLE",
"mark": {
"type": "rect",
"width": 100,
"height": 40,
"align": "center",
"baseline": "middle",
"stroke": "#969696",
"fill": "white"
},
"encoding": {
"x": {
"field": "_note_x",
"type": "temporal"
},
"y": {
"field": "_note_y",
"type": "quantitative"
}
}
},
You can add a cornerRadius property with value as desired.
Hope this helps.
Greg
