Markers can be added to the points by enabling the visible option of the marker property.

Note : To know more about the marker shape type refer the shape.

Images

Apart from the shapes, you can also add custom images to mark the data point using the imageUrl property.

Customizing Specific Point

You can also customize the specific marker and label using pointRender event. pointRender event allows you to change the shape, color and border for a point.
