Symbol Styles for Series

In This Topic

Depending upon the requirements, you may need to customize the appearance of series in the chart.

FlexChart allows you to customize series in the chart with the SymbolMarker and the SymbolSize property.

The SymbolMarker property allows you to set the shape of the marker to be used for each data point in the series. The SymbolSize property enables you to set the size (in pixels) of the symbols used to render the series.

Below is a table that lists how these properties affect each chart type:

Value	Effect for SymbolMarker	Effect for SymbolSize
ChartType.Column	No effect	No effect
ChartType.Bar	No effect	No effect
ChartType.Line	No effect	No effect
ChartType.Scatter	Changes the symbol marker	Changes the symbol size
ChartType.LineSymbols	Changes the symbol marker	Changes the symbol size
ChartType.Area	No effect	No effect
ChartType.Spline	No effect	No effect
ChartType.SplineSymbols	Changes the symbol marker	Changes the symbol size
ChartType.SplineArea	No effect	No effect
ChartType.Bubble	Changes the symbol marker	No effect
ChartType.Candlestick	No effect	Changes the symbol size
ChartType.HighLowOpenClose	No effect	Changes the symbol size

The SymbolSize property has no effect on the Bubble Chart; however, you can change the size of the bubble in the Bubble Chart by setting the BubbleMaxSize and the BubbleMinSize property provided by the ChartOptions class.
