The colors of the marker, the draw order and the corresponding base axis are assigned in General.

Top cap / connection

A marker consists of an upper and lower cap (symbol) and a connection line. For each element, you can select a style as well as define its size and visibility. Apart from the display styles triangle and square for the top and bottom cap, you can also select an image. Several options are available for displaying the image under Image mode:

  • None: the image is displayed in its original size

  • Fit: the image is fitted into the object in its original size ratio

  • Stretch: the image is adapted to the object in height and width

The positions of both caps can be configured independently with a fixed value or dynamically with a signal.

Examples:

Top cap: Triangle, size 15, fixed position 0 Connection: dashed, line width 2 Lower cap: Triangle, fixed position -60
