Change Plot Properties

  1. Right-click anywhere within the plot area of the graph cell that contains the plot or plots that you want to modify. Select Plot Properties.
    Note: Alternatively, right-click directly on the plot to modify just that plot. When you click or right-click a plot, the selected plot remains in full color. Any other plots in the cell appear dimmed.
    The Cell Properties dialog box appears with the Plots tab displayed.
  2. Make sure that the Plot list box displays the plot that you want to modify. If necessary, select a different plot from the list box.
    The Plot list box contains the names of all the plots in the cell. In the previous step, if you clicked directly on one of the plots, that plot is selected in the list box.
  3. Change the plot's properties.
    The types of properties that you see vary with the type of plot that you are modifying. In general, you can specify properties such as line colors, marker symbols, outlines, fills, and other attributes of plot features. These properties are described in the following topics:
  4. Use the Transparency slider to change a plot's transparency. Move the slider to the right to increase the transparency, and to the left to decrease the transparency.
    You can also specify a transparency percentage in the text box next to the slider. Specify the percentage in integers.
  5. To change the legend label for the plot, enter the label that you want in the Legend Label text box. When this plot is displayed in the legend, the plot is represented by this legend label, provided there is no GROUP variable in effect.
  6. To modify another plot, select the plot from the Plot list box and repeat steps 3–5.
  7. When you are finished making changes, click OK.
You can also change the wall color of the cell. For instructions, see Change the Wall Color and the Outline for a Cell.
