Marker Options
Depending on the Chart Type selected, you can configure various marker-related style settings:

Remarks
- Markers help highlight individual data points within the series.
- Only references to image files are stored in the presentation — not the actual image content.
➤ If the source image is updated, the updated version will be used during playback automatically. - The color picker allows you to choose from fixed colors, gradients, textures, or patterns for both markers and their borders.
- If you use image markers, ensure that the source image file remains available and synchronized for consistent presentation playback.
