Mark properties
There are five Mark properties that are always available: Color, Size, Text/Label, Detail, and Tooltip. There are also three properties available only when using a specific Mark type: Shape, Path, and Angle.
Any unaggregated field, returning more than one value that is used in a Mark property splits the number of Marks (except for the Tooltip property).
For example, if you put a Dimension that contains three different values in the Color property, the number of Marks is split by three.
Let's examine each property with the different options you have to make better visualizations. For each property, you'll find an example that you can reproduce with Sample – Superstore
and
World Indicators.
