Plot using predefined colors and shapes for a known, limited set of values

[ArthurName]

Describe the feature:
When the data consists of a predefined set of different values, like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (nothing below or above this, and not fractions, nor ranges and not an aggregate), you'd want the visualization to show a predefined color for each value; instead of vertical bars of different heights you'd get filled boxes of different colors representing the values. (As far as I know you can't do this with heatmaps.)

A choice of shapes is also relevant, like a filled circle or triangle, to make the visualization crystal clear (this is important also since it helps people with color vision defects).

Describe a specific use case for the feature:
The actual use case for me is test results, where every test is run once every day. They could be 0 (pass), 1 (fail), 2 (invalid), 3 (skipped) etc. You could have the date on the X axis. Splitting on rows would mean you could have a chart for a test case where every row represents the system the test was run on for example.

This sounds much like a scatter plot chart, which is currently only available using Vega visualization in kibana. You can check that blog post for a short introduction how you could achieve something like you want in Vega.
