Details
The behavior and syntax of the LINE variable is function
dependent:
- ARROW
-
In the ARROW function,
the valid values are positive numbers greater than 1. The value of
the LINE variable specifies the length of the sides of the arrowhead.
The units for the LINE variable are always a percentage of the graphics
area, regardless of the HSYS= value.
- BAR
-
In the BAR function,
valid values for the LINE variable can be 0, 1, 2, or 3. These values
determine how the outline of the bar is to be drawn, as shown in the
following figure.A value of 0 draws the outline all the way around
the bar. A value of 1 draws the outline only on the vertical sides
of the bar. A value of 2 draws the outline only on the horizontal
sides of the bar. A value of 3 draws no outline.
- DRAW, DRAW2TXT, FRAME, POLY
-
Valid values are whole
numbers from 1 to 46. A value of 1 specifies a solid line. The remaining
values specify different segmented lines, as illustrated in
Line Types.
- PIE
