Chart Markers and Legend Icons don't seem to make sense

[Unknown]

So the DataMarkerType Icons consist of:

Cross,

Diamond,

Ellipse,

Hexagon,

HorizontalLine,

InvertedTriangle,

Pentagon,

Plus,

Square,

Triangle,

VerticalLine

And the LegendIcons consists of:

Circle,

Cross,

Diamond,

InvertedTriangle,

None,
Pentagon,

Rectangle,

SeriesType,

StraightLine,

Triangle

Making only a few of these icons usable for a graphing series with a legend:

Cross,

Diamond,

InvertedTriangle,

Pentagon,

Triangle,

These are strange icons to have and my client requires a standardized set of icons for their graphing. Much of their graphs will be printed in black and white, and need a suitable icon that can be visible and understood. Icons I would consider normal : Circle, Square, Cross, X, Triangle. But I can't even use Circle or Square, seems the most straightforward ones to have, but they seem to be missing here in these sets. I need the chart series and the legend to accurately reflect the same data, which in the current state I cannot proceed.

Can you update these to be the same? I would think it would make sense to be a standard feature.

Ah, thanks so much this really helped. I didn't consider the ability to change width/height.
