Style(element) - Line style for a plot element

Description:
This attribute determines the line style used when drawing each element of graphical output. It takes a separate value for each graphical element so that, for instance, the setting "Style(border)=2"  causes the border to be drawn using line Style 2 (which results in a dashed line).

The range of integer line styles available and their appearance is determined by the PGPLOT graphics system, but includes the following:

  1. Full line (the default)
  2. Dashed
  3. Dot-dash-dot-dash
  4. Dotted
  5. Dash-dot-dot-dot


Type:
Integer.

Notes:
  • For a list of the graphical elements available, see here.

  • If no graphical element is specified, (e.g. Style instead of Style(border)), then all graphical elements are affected.
