# Symbol Styles for Series

## Content

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 |
