\title Using Light Markers and Points Selection
\brief Shows how to use light markers and points selection for a series.

We start with creating a series, filling it with the data, and setting up selection functionality.
It's important not to set points visibility to \c true, because light markers functionality is
an independent feature and setting both would result in undesired behavior.

Then we create the \c {QChart}, the \c {QChartview} and the control widget with its layout to arrange customization elements.

The next step is creating elements of customization.
\snippet chartsgallery/lightmarkerswidget.cpp 3
We create the label for the marker selection combobox and add fill the combobox with the items.
Also, we provide functionality to the combobox. Considering the implementation of the light markers
functionality, we need to make sure if displaying of unselected points is checked.
Switching the visibility of the light marker off is achieved by setting it to \c "empty" \c {QImage}.
If the user unchecks the displaying of unselected points and changes the light marker image, unselected points
have to remain invisible.
If checking isn't performed, new \c {QImage} will be set for light marker
and unselected points will be visible even though it has been switched off.

Almost the same procedure applies to the selected point light marker and line color. The only difference is
that there's no need to check visibility of unselected points as it doesn't affect the functionality.
\snippet chartsgallery/lightmarkerswidget.cpp 5
A small difference comes with changing visibility of unselected points. As it was mentioned before,
making light markers invisible is achieved by setting them to "empty" \c {QImage}.
That is why, depending on checkbox state, selected point light marker is set to "empty" \c {QImage} or
to the light marker extracted from the current index of the corresponding combobox.

The final part is to arrange the elements, add all the widgets to the main widget, and set the main window size.
