Hello, I was wondering how I can create something like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/d/9deb138e077abc4b509604a61273e60847cb340a.png) Where it just connects the points and creates like a cohesive dotted line. Is there a way I can just enable , if the data points are far apart make it a dotted line? ---

Hi @erikg within Lens, when choosing the "Line" chart type is possible to have full control of: - how to connect two points apart if there are missing values - whether to use a full or dotted line pattern for that ![Screenshot 2024-11-27 at 17.50.27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/a/2afb045ea0abd7a688e527dc225d6113d242f1cc.png) ---

Hey @Marco_Liberati , Yes but I don't see the option to do like the first example. When doing dotted line: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/a/9ac653170671d788ced77615af06f2a9375606e8.png) I want like a line but points. Like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/d/adab602af8d6d61a0c851197a4da61c66360f271.png) I think this is referred to as "break points line" ---

So you would like to control the size of the data points of the chart. There's an enhancement request for that already in the Kibana repo, I'll log your request in there: [[Lens] Line chart styling controls · Issue #124279 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/124279) ---

Hey @Marco_Liberati, yeah I think I just want data points connected by a line to display but I am a bit confused because in the first picture I shared, this seems already possible? ---

Maybe the picture is from a previous version of Kibana? Recently the line dot were reduced in size, but we're now evaluating some more advanced control over it with the linked request enhancement ---
