Formatting the scatter

To format the lines of a scatter chart, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click any node in the scatter chart, and then select Format Scatter to display the Format Scatter dialog.
2. In the General tab, set the general options for the scatter chart.

   In the Layout box, specify the layout of the chart. In the Line box, specify the thickness of the lines that connect the nodes if you have set the layout to Straight Line or Curved Line. In the Node box, set the node style, width and height as required.

3. In the Fill and Border tabs, set the fill and border modes for the nodes (for details, refer to Formatting the platform). Click the Pattern List button in the Fill tab to specify the patterns that will apply to the nodes according to your requirements.
4. In the Data Label tab, set the font formats and effects of the data labels. The data labels display when the end user moves the mouse pointer over the nodes.
5. Click OK to apply the settings and close the dialog.
