Scatter Displayers in a Cartesian Chart and in a Polar Chart

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.
