Is there a way to add points to only one line in a Graph Builder Line Plot?

Question

Hi All,

I have a Y over X graph builder plot with multiple lines, their name in the Overlay, and colored by designation. I would like to add points only to one line. Is that possible? For example, how would I add points only to the Rosy line?

Your suggestions are much appreciated.

One more option you might sometimes want to consider is to split your data

You can then add all your Kid columns to Y-axis and have a bit more freedom to plot them as you wish

You can find more details about color settings in the post.
 Why is this DropZone called "Color"

The "Remote Control" in the  Graph Builder Toolbar allows you to set colors and transparency very easily.

e.g. batch assign of Transparency =0.1 to all items but one.

Here is a video showing how the remote control can be used:

For a more advanced analysis (e.g. if there are dozens of entries and you don't want to reduce the transparency X times), you can:

* use a transform column to calculate 1/0 for data with & without marker  (here: fruit = "Pears")
* use this transform column as "color"
* then you just have to adjust 2 settings instead of dozens of  entries

Graph Builder(
	Transform Column( "Rosy", Nominal, Formula( If( :Kid == "Rosy", "Rosy" ) ) ),
	Variables(
		X( :Days ),
		Y( :Values ),
		Overlay( :Kid ),
		Color( :Fruit ),
		Color( :Rosy )
	),
	Elements(
		Line( X, Y, Color( 1 ), Color( 1 ), Legend( 1 ) ),
		Points( X, Y, Overlay( 0 ), Color( 2 ), Legend( 2 ) )
	),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "400", ScaleBox,
			{Legend Model(
				2,
				Properties( 0, {Transparency( 0 )}, Item ID( "Missing", 1 ) )
			)}
		)
	)
);

If there is a conflict for overlay or color, you can disable or enable them separately for specific graphs:

In Graph Builder, this can be done via the variables drop down menu:
