Scatter chart always connects markers with lines (like lineMarker) #298
Description
Running the 33chartcreate-scatter.php example with PHPExcel_Chart_DataSeries::STYLE_MARKER instead of STYLE_LINEMARKER, Excel and OOcalc still connect the markers with lines.
This issue has also been mentioned here.

Saving the file as Excel2007 from OOCalc, results in a chart1.xml that includes the following lines in the <c:ser>
.
<a:ln w="28440">
<a:solidFill>
<a:srgbClr val="be4b48"/>
</a:solidFill>
<a:round/>
</a:ln>
When the chart sub-type is manually fixed (in OOcalc) to not have connecting lines, the resulting chart1.xml still has <c:scatterStyle val="lineMarker"/>
. A scatter chart generated by OOCalc also has <c:scatterStyle val="lineMarker"/>
.
From the Excel2007 XML spec...
One of the posters linked above mentions a work-around of making each point it's own series, but if someone has a better understanding of how Excel (and OOCalc) interpret the chart style, perhaps there's a way to make this work the same way that Excel and OOCalc do it.
