LINE STYLE EDITING IN THE DIALOGUE BOX

LINE STYLE EDITING IN THE DIALOGUE BOX

The dialogue box can be used to edit curve styles.

To access this feature, enter the command /style at the Command Prompt.



Enter M at the STYLE > command prompt for a list of all available dialogue box commands.

The following commands are available:

SET
READ
WRITE
DEFAULT
FIX
GM

SET

This option allows the user to set the style properties for individual curves.

Enter the curve number (e.g #1 for curve 1) at the Select Curve? command prompt.

T/HIS will prompt the user to input the desired style properties in the order:

Colour; Enter the colour for the line
Line Width; Enter the desired line width for the line
Line Style; Enter the desired line style (e.g. dashed) for the line
Symbol Type; Enter the desired Symbol Type
Symbol Frequency; Enter the desired frequency of the symbols in the format

READ

This option allows the user to read a style file containing style information and apply that style to a particular curve.

Enter the name of the style file at the Style File? command prompt.

WRITE

This option allows the user to write a style file containing style information.

DEFAULT

This option allows the user to reset all the curve styles to the default settings.

FIX

This is an ON OFF switch which resets the curve styles when they are plotted on the screen so that the curves cycle through the default T/HIS colours and styles as they are plotted. This will result in the first curve being plotted always being white, the second red, the third green, etc regardless of their curve numbers. The default is OFF .

GM

This option will display the Global Menu in a separate window.
