 Scatter Chart point scaling |

Hi,
We have a scatter chart implementation that includes a lot of data points. When the same point is included multiple times, the icon grows accordingly. The issue arises when too many of the same point is called. The icon (square, diamond, etc.) grows to be enormous.
Is there way to scale this to show the data validly, but not have certain commonly used points grow so large?
Thanks,
Adam |

Hi Adam,
I am not sure why the overlapping icons will "grow". ChartDirector will not "grow" the icons. Are your own code growing the icons?
If your own code is growing the icons, please modify your code, so that it does not grow the icon so much. You can always use other methods to represent magnitude, such as by using colors, or just putting a number inside the icon, etc..
If you need further help, would you mind to attach a chart image of the chart you get? (I am trying to understand why the icon will "grow", and to see if there are alternative method to plot the data.)

HI Peter,
Thanks for your response. Here is a sample for your review. I guess this is actually a bubble chart, but the same question applies.
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,
I can see some symbols are larger and some symbols are smaller in your chart. It is because your code sets some symbols to be larger, and some to be smaller. If you think some symbols are too large, please modify your code so that it does not set the symbol size so large.
Hope this can help.
