Which column or hierarchy to use, as well as which shape should represent which category, is specified under Shape definition.

Click on a shape in the scheme to display all the available shapes and make your selection. |
Tiled
markers |
Select this option to display the markers as tiles. The markers will be rectangularly shaped, have the same size, and be displayed in a grid-like layout. Note: When you use tiled markers the settings in the Size page will be disabled since the markers have the same size. |
