will reduce issues with Markers in Graph Builder.

Row states are nice workarounds.
on the other hand: very dangerous! (static, they don't adapt when values change!)

Marker Legend without coloring:
via Overlay encoding?

Names Default to Here(1);
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
Graph Builder(

	Variables(
		X( :height ),
		Y( :weight ),
		Overlay( :age, Overlay Encoding( "Style" ) )
	),
	Elements( Points( X, Y ) )
);

additional "legends" can be added by adding additional point plots
(with points outside of the current plot region)

... and row states can be used as dirty hack to assign the markers to the corresponding rows.

[if Overlay + Color is not what you want]
