Symbol Styles for Series
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 |

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 located in the Options node of the Properties window.
