Marker Layer Settings – Drawing Order

Option

Description

Columns

Specifies the column to use for defining the drawing order of markers.

When markers cover each other, partly or totally, it can be useful to define an order in which the markers are drawn. Markers of certain interest can then be brought forward in the visualization, and the other markers backward.

For an example, see Scatter Plot Properties - Drawing Order.

Tip: If you have added coloring rules, for example assigned top values a certain color, consider specifying the column on the color axis also as drawing order column. These top values will then be drawn on top and do not risk to be covered.

Reverse drawing order of markers

(The check box is only available if a drawing order is defined above.) Draws the markers in the opposite order (for the column specified above). That is, front markers are sent backward and vice versa.

For an example, see Scatter Plot Properties - Drawing Order.
