Hi Kevin,

The functionality of point series with markers and hidden points is identical to a point series with min / max control or probably you need a combination of both?

Hi

Sorry, I didn't really understand your last reply, probably because I don't understand why point series have a MarkerStyle, but the point symbols are determined by the PointShape and the size by Size, whereas line series use the MarkerStyle. Why the different behaviour in the first place?

Anyway, your reply suggests that point series can have markers and no points, but the whole reason I started having to use PointShape and Size is that MarkerStyles didn't work for me for point series! Perhaps I'm missing the point (sorry!) of the reason point series exist separately from line series?

Your confusedly

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

In general point series do not need markers (you can consider the point data point as a kind of marker), however this functionality is generally inherited from the functionality of the base classes the point series inherits from - so it's there and implemented. The only thing you need to do in order to use markers (and not point series data point visualization) is to ensure that the marker style has horizontal and vertical alignments set to center. If you meet any problems or have any questions please let us know...

Are there any disadvantages to using markers than the point shapes?

Answering my own question - performance seems to be poor using marker shapes. Is this as expected?

Thanks

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

In general you should not see performance degradation compared to a point series - what are the marker settings? - circle rendering for example is much slower than rectangles...
