Property setting Description
Rotate by (in degrees) Specifies the column to use for defining how many degrees the markers should be rotated. The rotation can be clockwise or counter-clockwise. A full rotation is 360 degrees, and a value of 361 is interpreted as 1 degree.

For example, when specifying an arrow as marker shape, marker rotation can be useful to indicate directions of motion such as wind direction. See Showing directions using marker rotation in a map chart to learn how to configure a map chart to use rotation of markers.

Note: Markers are not displayed for null values.
Clockwise Rotates the markers clockwise.
Counter-clockwise Rotates the markers counter-clockwise.
