Chart marker styles

You can control how chart marker styles (bars, points, and arcs) appear by setting their marker style to Solid, Hollow, or Outline. This lets you distinguish data series visually through different outlines rather than color alone.

Marker style settings apply to bar, point (scatter/bubble), and arc (donut) charts in the new charts library only. Marker style is not available for line or area charts.

Marker style modes

Mode Description

Solid (default)

Renders as a solid fill. No outline is applied.

Hollow

The fill is removed. Only the outline border is rendered, giving a ring or hollow appearance.

Outline

The fill is rendered, and an outline border is layered on top of the fill.
Mark style modes

Outline style sub-settings

When you select Hollow or Outline, additional sub-settings appear:

Setting Description

Outline width

Controls the thickness of the outline stroke in pixels.

Outline color

Sets the color of the outline. Available when no Slice by Color is applied. When a color encoding is active, the outline automatically inherits the same color as the marker’s fill, darkened for contrast.

Outline style

Sets the outline appearance: Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
Outline style sub-settings

Switching between modes

  • If you switch from Hollow or Outline to Solid, outline sub-settings collapse and are hidden.

  • If you add a Slice by Color while Hollow or Outline is active, the outline color field becomes hidden or disabled, and the outline inherits the color encoding automatically.

  • If you remove a Slice by Color while Hollow or Outline is active, the outline color field becomes editable again, and reverts to the measure color.

Set the marker style for a chart column

Marker style is a per-measure setting. To configure it, follow these steps:

  1. Open your chart in ThoughtSpot, then click the Column icon Column settings icon on the right side panel to open the Column settings.

  2. Select the measure column you want to style.

  3. Under Advanced, expand the Marker style section.

  4. Select the style you want: Solid, Hollow, or Outline.

  5. If you selected Hollow or Outline, configure the sub-settings:

    1. Set Outline width (in pixels).

    2. Set Outline color using the color picker (when no Slice by Color is active).

    3. Set Outline style: Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.

  6. Your changes apply immediately to the chart.
