How to remove markers from line graph?

Question

I need to have a line graph in my layout and I want to show the series without the markers on the line.

The dialog to adjust symbology for the series does not offer any way to influence the markers, other than changing the colour (for the entire graph).

The issue for me is that the markers are out of my control and the chart in my layout is essentially dominated by those markers and not by the line graph, thereby obscuring the information.

Hi @TomGeo and @TonyHowze , the upcoming 3.5 release will add support for configuring line chart point markers. This will allow you to control the marker symbol as well as the size, so it will be possible to hide the markers by setting the size to zero.

I was looking to see if there was a way to turn these off, still nothing 2 years later.  Why is this such a challenge for ESRI to implement? The code has to be telling the chart to represent the point with a color/symbol to be shown on the chart, why can't you have an option to turn it off or 0 pt symbol?

Hi @TomGeo ,

There is currently no way to configure the marker style in line charts, though we hope to add this functionality in the near future. As a workaround, you might try increasing the width of the line to cover the markers.

Thanks,

Chris
