16 Feb 202418 minutes to read

By using the shape property in the marker, you can customize the shape of the scatter series points like Circle, Rectangle, Triangle, Diamond, Cross, HorizontalLine, VerticalLine, Pentagon, InvertedTriangle and Image.

You can customize the width and height of the shapes by using width and height properties of the marker.

Customizing point color and data label value

You can customize the point color by using pointRender event in the chart. In which we have check the condition based on yValue to change the fill color of the point.

By default datalabel values shows y values of the datasource. You can customize the datalabel value by using textRender event in the chart.
