<ig:XamDataChart > <ig:XamDataChart.Series> <ig:SplineSeries MarkerType="Triangle"/> </ig:XamDataChart.Series> </ig:XamDataChart>
In the XamDataChart™ control, most of the Series provide support for various markers. The appearance of markers is managed through the properties of the Chart Series that inherit from MarkerSeries class.
The following table lists all marker appearance properties: MarkerSeries object
The code snippets below demonstrate how to change the marker type in the SplineSeries object. The same logic can be applied to other series that inherit from the MarkerSeries class.
In XAML:
<ig:XamDataChart > <ig:XamDataChart.Series> <ig:SplineSeries MarkerType="Triangle"/> </ig:XamDataChart.Series> </ig:XamDataChart>
In C#:
series = new SplineSeries();
series.MarkerType = MarkerType.Triangle;
In Visual Basic:
Dim series As New SplineSeries() series.MarkerType = MarkerType.Triangle
Figure 1: The XamDataChart control with SplineSeries and Triangle markers.
The shape of markers can also be customized by binding data templates to properties of the chart control listed in the following table.
The following code snippets demonstrate how to create data templates for markers in the XamDataChart control.
