Scatter chart Legend symbols for anchorSides = 1

[bmcwhorter]

Scatter charts should be able to handle anchorSides = 1 because people do not always want to use a bubble chart to have one data series show up as a circle.  In fact it does and it works well.  The only problem is when using a legend.

 

In javascript, the legend renders the circle symbol fine.  However, in flash, the legend symbol is rendered as something completely different than whats on the chart.  Generally showing up as a pentagon.  Why does it do this/how do i fix it?

Hi,

 

"anchorSides" attribute accepts a valid range of 3-20.  As a best practice, we would recommend you to provide a value in the desired range specified.

 

Try setting "anchorSides"  as 10 to experience similar visualization between Flash/JS.

 

Hope this helps.
