Plot Series Properties
The Plot Series Properties dialog is used to
change the properties of lines and symbols after a plot is created.
Use this dialog to change the marker style and size, color, and
line thickness for an existing plot. The series properties may be
set to default values using the
Image Plot Properties page. You can also enable
or disable separate series from being shown and change the caption
for each series.
Example
The Auto check box
enables automatic updating of the plot after you change a property.
Otherwise, changes take place when you click the [Apply] button.
The example below shows a histogram of an image set
containing 5 series, before and after making the changes shown in
the dialog above. Notice that 5 different colors are used and that
one of the lines has been thickened for emphasis;

thickness of a single pixel on a typical computer monitor.

Changing Properties for Multiple Series
This dialog allows you to change the properties of
a single plot series as described in the table above. The procedure
used to change multiple rows is similar to the Edit > Fill
procedure in Microsoft Excel. For example, you may wish to
emphasize a range of plot series using a thick line and a bright
color.
Procedure:
1.
Point the mouse at the cell having the
property you want to copy and press the left mouse button. Do not
release the mouse button or you may change the cell value rather
than highlight it.
2.
If you wish to change more than 1 column,
drag the mouse to the left or right to highlight the other
cells.
3.
Drag the mouse to other rows. Release the
mouse button on the final row.
4.
Right click the mouse inside the
highlighted area and select the appropriate option.
