Hi All,

       I'm currently trying to plot a list of vectors on a 2D chart. What I mean by 'vectors', is just a simple lines which start on an specific X-Y coordinate and ends on another one.

For this purposes I was trying to use the composite chart, specifically as a scatterChart, where each vector would be a single XYSeries object containing 2 XYDatapoints (start and end)

However, this proves somewhat troublesome, as each vector can vary in the following ways:

  - Different lengths (can easily be accomplished by changing the 'ending' XYData point

  - Different line styles (dashed, solid)

  - Different colors

  - Different symbols (each vector has just 1 symbol at the start point, but not the end point)

  - Some vectors have a label next to it

I found that the LineAppearance class addresses most of these variants altogether; but I can't seem to find a way to apply a LineAppearance to a single XYseries in an scatterchart, so the workaround I found is to create several ScatterChartAppearance 's with all the format combinations I'll be using, and assigning a series to the scatterchartappearance; but that seems way too excessive.

So, my question would be, is there a way to customize the items I described above in a per-XYSeries basis? Or is there a better type of chart / way to approach this issue?

Also, what's the difference between scatterChart and scatterLineChart, given that the former has a ConnectWithLines property?

Thanks,
