Customizing Colours in Scatter Graph

[Jenks]

Hello,

I'm having some difficulties trying to customize the colours of separate plots in a scatter graph. I have 6 different data sets to put on one graph and am trying to make the symbols for the data points as follows:

- 1 set solid green circles
- 1 set open green circles
- 1 set solid blue circles
- 1 set open blue circles
- 1 set solid red circles
- 1 set solid red circles

The only issue I have is changing the outline colour of the shape. I can customize the shapes and fill colour, but I cannot change the colour of the outline of the shape from it's original automatic colour. Is there an easy way to do this? I would like to keep it as simple as possible without making the graph convoluted and hard to interpret. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Take care!

you can do a green circle unfilled, and a green circle filled green.

So exactly what cannot you do? What is "the outline colour of the shape"?

Sorry, I figured it out. When I would plot the data it would automatically assign a solid blue square for example. I could change the square to a circle and the fill colour to be green no problem, however a the blue outline of the shape would remain around the green fill. So it was a green circle with a blue border. When I tried to change the border colour it would connect all the data points with a line. I just did that then went into the "format data series" options to remove the lines connecting the points.
