We can use the scatter displayer displaying the blue triangles as an example. We can create this displayer by using the following code:
IlvScatterChartDisplayer* displayer =
new IlvScatterChartDisplayer(IlvMarkerFilledTriangle,
IlvDefaultMarkerSize);
displayer->setForeground(dpy->getColor("blue"));
Note: The Drawn Filled property has no meaning for a scatter displayer. The markers are simply drawn with the foreground color of the defined palette.
