I tried setting the Visibility property of the Ellipse but then tooltip also stopped showing. How to acheive this ? Please help me.

<telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor ItemsSourcePath="Points" YValuePath="YValue" XValuePath="XValue">

<telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor.Style>

<Style TargetType="telerik:ScatterSplineSeries">

<Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="{Binding StrokeThickness}"></Setter>

<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="{Binding Color}"></Setter>

<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="{Binding IsVisible,Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"></Setter>

<Setter Property="DisplayName" Value="{Binding Name}"></Setter>

Hello Shilpa,

Could you elaborate a bit more on the scenario. If I understood you correctly you would like to have your series hidden but to keep the PointTemplate represented as an ellipse still visible on the plot? If that so, you could use a ScatterPointSeries instead of a ScatterLineSeries. You could also achieve this with the ScatterLine by simply setting the Stroke color of your series to Transparent:

<telerik:ScatterSeriesDescriptor.Style>

<Style TargetType="telerik:ScatterSplineSeries">

<Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="2"></Setter>

<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Transparent"></Setter>

In case you are trying to just hide the ellipse points and keep the series visible, you could achieve the same by setting the Fill of your ellipse to Transparent.

I would also suggest you to take a look at chart's trackball behavior as it might also be useful for your scenario.
