Charts: provide more symbol styles?

[Yuri05]

DevExpress currently provides the following markers (symbol styles) for charts:

However only few of then are supported in PK-Sim/MoBi:

Any reason why we should not provide ALL available symbol styles?

P.S. How it looks like: https://docs.devexpress.com/CoreLibraries/DevExpress.XtraCharts.MarkerKind#members

I don't see any.. either arbitrary decision years ago or those were added after the fact It needs to be synchronized with the reporting engine probably so that plots are drawn with the right symbols too

Yes. tlf already supports a lot of symbols and can be extended with the missing ones (which are "pentagon", "hexagon" and "thin cross" - all others are already in the list) (correct, @pchelle ?) https://github.com/Open-Systems-Pharmacology/TLF-Library/blob/07776aa28f45c662cf77ba7713a1c85cf8c1b3b0/R/utilities-enums.R#L290-L337

I am for providing all symbol types... Don't see a reason to artificially limit this.

Yes, reporting engine has an internal dictionary translating input symbol names into tlf symbol names that will need synchronization

[msevestre]

@pchelle can you create an issue for this?
