You can change the type of marker that is used to display data point in Scatter Chart. Changing the type of marker helps easier differentiation between data series / points. Given example shows Multi Series Scatter Chart where the type of marker for second series is changed to triangle. It also contains source code that you can edit in-browser or save to run locally.
window.onload = function () { var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer", { animationEnabled: true, title: { text: "Server CPU Utilization vs Active Users" }, axisX: { title: "Active Users" }, axisY: { title: "CPU Utilization", suffix: "%" }, legend: { cursor: "pointer", itemclick: toggleDataSeries }, data: [{ type: "scatter", name: "Server 1", showInLegend: true, toolTipContent: "<span style=\"color:#4F81BC \">{name}</span><br>Active Users: {x}<br>CPU Utilization: {y}%", dataPoints: [ { x: 100, y: 10 }, { x: 110, y: 15 }, { x: 130, y: 17 }, { x: 140, y: 19 }, { x: 145, y: 21 }, { x: 400, y: 25 }, { x: 430, y: 27 }, { x: 444, y: 30 }, { x: 460, y: 29 }, { x: 490, y: 35 }, { x: 500, y: 40 }, { x: 510, y: 50 }, { x: 600, y: 30 }, { x: 700, y: 35 }, { x: 800, y: 40 }, { x: 900, y: 45 }, { x: 1000, y: 47 }, { x: 1200, y: 55 }, { x: 1230, y: 51 }, { x: 1300, y: 60 }, { x: 1330, y: 65 }, { x: 1400, y: 70 }, { x: 1450, y: 71 }, { x: 1500, y: 69 }, { x: 1530, y: 75 }, { x: 1590, y: 79 }, { x: 1600, y: 62 }, { x: 1620, y: 80 }, { x: 1640, y: 85 }, { x: 1700, y: 81 }, { x: 1790, y: 89 }, { x: 1800, y: 91 }, { x: 1950, y: 93 }, { x: 1980, y: 88 }, { x: 2000, y: 90 } ] }, { type: "scatter", name: "Server 2", showInLegend: true, markerType: "triangle", toolTipContent: "<span style=\"color:#C0504E \">{name}</span><br>Active Users: {x}<br>CPU Utilization: {y}%", dataPoints: [ { x: 100, y: 25 }, { x: 110, y: 35 }, { x: 130, y: 35 }, { x: 140, y: 40 }, { x: 145, y: 45 }, { x: 400, y: 42 }, { x: 430, y: 32 }, { x: 444, y: 35 }, { x: 460, y: 43 }, { x: 490, y: 50 }, { x: 500, y: 57 }, { x: 510, y: 67 }, { x: 600, y: 40 }, { x: 700, y: 46 }, { x: 800, y: 50 }, { x: 900, y: 60 }, { x: 1000, y: 66 }, { x: 1200, y: 79 }, { x: 1230, y: 60 }, { x: 1300, y: 75 }, { x: 1330, y: 80 }, { x: 1400, y: 82 }, { x: 1450, y: 88 }, { x: 1500, y: 87 }, { x: 1530, y: 88 }, { x: 1590, y: 90 }, { x: 1600, y: 80 }, { x: 1620, y: 93 }, { x: 1640, y: 91 }, { x: 1700, y: 92 }, { x: 1790, y: 93 }, { x: 1800, y: 90 }, { x: 1950, y: 91 }, { x: 1980, y: 93 }, { x: 2000, y: 95 } ] }] }); chart.render(); function toggleDataSeries(e) { if (typeof (e.dataSeries.visible) === "undefined" || e.dataSeries.visible) { e.dataSeries.visible = false; } else { e.dataSeries.visible = true; } e.chart.render(); } }
You can change the type or size of marker in scatter graph using markerType & markerSize respectively. Some other commonly used customization options are markerColor, markerBorderColor, markerBorderThickness etc.
