Custom symbols in dc

[Robert Anderson]

I have created custom symbols accessed from d3.js code...but I am wondering if anyone has had success accessing custom symbols from .symbol() (specifically a scatterPlot)? 

My initial cursory look thru the code is that only the d3.svg.symbol() is supported.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi Robert,

Indeed it seems like an oversight in the interface. I agree it should be allowed.

If you're willing to edit the source, I think you could add it to the scatterPlot like this:

    _chart.customSymbol = function(customSymbol) {

        if (!arguments.length) {

            return _symbol;

        }

        _symbol = customSymbol;

        return _chart;

    };

I've added an issue to track this request:

Cheers,

Gordon

Thanks Gordon...

Another question re: custom symbols: is there a way in dc.js to rotate a standard symbol? For example, rotate the cross 45 degrees to that it changes from a  '+'  to an 'X'?  This doesn't negate my need for other custom symbols, but simply rotate an existing symbol would meet one of my requirements,
