Series Attributes

Series provide attributes that allow the user to customize the appearance of indidividual data points. These attributes include settings for custom filling, stroke, image filter, material, and data point marker. This allows to highting data points of interest as well as to add additional dimension to data - for example apply colors that correlete to a value that is not plotted on the chart.

The following images show charts with data points that have individual series attributes.

Appearance

This example demonstrates how an individual fill style and stroke style can be assigned to a particular data point.

Markers

Markers are shapes displayed at each data point. All markers except marker 4 use the default marker style for the series. Marker 4 uses an individual marker style. User can control marker shape style, size, visibility, fill and border style.

Data Labels

Data Labels are texts displayed on data points, which contain information regarding the data point. By default all data labels are displayed with the same data label style, but you are able to assign individual data label styles for particular data points.

Best Practices for using Series Attributes

Distinctive Colors
Use distinctive colors to highlight individual data points in the chart. Consistent Formatting
Maintain consistent formatting across the other elements in the series and the data points you want to highlight. This includes consistent use of fill styles (solid, gradient, image), line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and marker styles (circles, squares, etc.). Labeling
Clearly label each series in the chart. Labels should be concise yet descriptive enough to understand each series's representation without confusion. Avoid cluttering the chart with too many labels.
