Vega-Lite中基于动态字段的折线图渐变着色实现问询

Vega-Lite 原生确实没有直接支持基于字段/参数值的折线分段渐变着色功能，但可以通过分层折线+数据计算的方式实现你要的动态效果。

实现思路 #

核心逻辑是把每条折线拆分成「已完成段」和「未完成段」两部分：

• 针对每个分类，计算其时间序列的总跨度，结合completion字段值算出分界日期
• 给每个数据点添加标记，区分它属于已完成还是未完成区间
• 用两个折线层分别渲染这两部分，已完成段使用color字段的原色，未完成段使用同色但透明度设为0.3

关键说明 #

1. 数据转换部分：通过window变换获取每个分类的时间范围，计算出完成比例对应的分界时间戳，再标记每个数据点所属的分段。
2. 分层渲染：两个折线层分别对应已完成和未完成段，通过filter筛选数据，opacity控制透明度，scale: null确保直接使用color字段的原始颜色值。
3. 动态适配：只要completion字段值变化，分界点会自动更新，完全满足动态需求。
