Adjusting the drawing order of markers
When markers cover each other, partly or totally, it can be useful to specify an order in which the markers are drawn. Markers of certain interest can then be brought forward in the visualization, and other markers backward.
About this task
An example of adjusting the drawing order follows. The visualization to the left shows the default drawing of the markers that are colored by a specified column. The visualization to the right is identical except for the drawing order of markers. By using the color column also for defining a drawing order, the blue markers have been drawn first, then the green markers, and last the yellow markers on top of the others.

Tip: If you
want to draw the markers in the opposite order, select the
Reverse drawing order of markers check box.
Front markers will then be sent backwards and vice versa.
Reversing the drawing order in the upper-right visualization will
draw the yellow markers first and the blue markers last.
