You can remove the line on a line chart:

However I suspect your question may be a bit deeper than that. If so, could you explain what you're trying to do a bit more?

what i need to do is plotting data onto a custom map, but i couldn't as kibana only support lat and lon to be plotted on the map and i want to plot XY coordinates , so i was looking if i made scatter plot and change the background to the image i need.

Apologies, somehow I missed the part about changing the background.

It's possible to use custom maps in Kibana. Here's a good blog post about it: [https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-and-a-custom-tile-server-for-nhl-data](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-and-a-custom-tile-server-for-nhl-data)
