Charts - Custom Legend Markers

Legend markers are SVG elements. To customize a legend marker, declare the SVG markup in the markerTemplate. You can access the legend item data object inside the template and use it to identify the series and read its parameters.

In this demo, the markers' appearance changes when you click the markers to show or hide the corresponding series.
