I created custom shape

    public class LineShape : ElementShape
    {
        public override GraphicsPath CreatePath(Rectangle bounds)
        {
            var path = new GraphicsPath();
            path.AddLine(bounds.X, bounds.Y + 1.0f, bounds.X + bounds.Width, bounds.Y + bounds.Height);
            return path;
        }
    }

When I add a ScatterSeries, then assigned Shape = LineShape. But these points are not drawn on the chart!!!

However, if I add an event

        private void LegendElement_VisualItemCreating(object sender, LegendItemElementCreatingEventArgs e)
        {
            e.ItemElement = new LegendItemElement(e.LegendItem);
            if (!(e.LegendItem.Element is ScatterSeries seria)) return;
            e.ItemElement.MarkerElement.Shape = seria.Shape;
        }

then LineShape drawn in the legend

Hello Valery,

Thank you for providing the custom ElementShape. In order to use it as a custom shape for the ScatterPointElements that represent the data points in ScatterSeria, you should set the ScatterPointElement.BorderWidth property. Please refer to the following code snippet:

public ScatterSeria()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            ScatterSeries scatterSeries = new ScatterSeries();
            scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(15, 19));
            scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(18, 10));
            scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(13, 15));
            scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(10, 8));
            scatterSeries.DataPoints.Add(new ScatterDataPoint(5, 12));
            scatterSeries.PointSize = new SizeF(10, 10);
            scatterSeries.BorderColor = Color.Red;

            foreach (ScatterPointElement point in scatterSeries.Children)
            {
                point.BorderWidth = 1;
            }
            scatterSeries.Shape = new LineShape();
            this.radChartView1.Series.Add(scatterSeries);

I hope this helps. Should you have other questions I will be glad to help.

Regards,
Nadya
