Lines are used instead of symbols in chart

[#1]

Here is a simple problem. I am plotting data in a line chart, but in Properties | Expressions | Display Options I check 'Symbol' and uncheck 'Line'. Then my graph should have symbols, not lines? However my graph shows lines. It's only when I zoom it to a quite detailed level that the lines disappear and the symbols appear.

How to get rid of this annoying behaviour and get only symbols when I want only symbols?

Thanks, D.

Weird.  Have you contacted QlikTech support about this?  May be a bug?

Hi, we have the same problem. It changes from symbol to lines if you have more than 100 values on your x-axis...

No idea how you can change that...

I have contacted tech support and I am waiting for their answer. I'll let you know what they find.

Have you tried changing this section?

[#6]

Yes I tried, but it doesn't seem to solve the problem.

I don't think it's a generic solution but you could go to:

Settings >> User Preferences >> select the tab "Objects" and put in a higher number at "Max Symbols in Chart"

So atleast for you as a user it should be fixed, but I think if someone else opens it he has to do this aswell.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. That is just the solution I was looking for. Perfect. Would never have found on my own. Thanks again.

Hi..

The symbol is not visible in the local system, but once deployed on the server and when I am accessing it using full browser version of access point, the User Preferences settings is again changed to the old one, i.e. 100 symbols.

What changes can be done, so that it will be reflected in the access point also.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot,

I also has issue with symbols changing to lines and this fixed it.
