Plot Series Default Properties


This dialog sets default properties for plot series. The settings for both lines and symbol markers are set using the same dialog, since Mira does not know in advance what type of plot will be made into each series, according to its index (series number). The dialog shown below sets the properties for series 1. When setting automatic series properties using the Plot Properties page, "plot index 1" corresponds to series 1, n+1, 2n+1, etc., for value n set in the Repeat Every box.

You can change the series properties after a plot is created using the Plot Series Properties command.
