In the example, both
the normal and the kernel density plots have the same visual properties,
and you cannot distinguish between the two. In this step, you change
the format of the kernel plot so that you can distinguish the kernel
plot from the normal plot.
-
Right-click anywhere
within the plot area of the first cell (column one) and select
Plot Properties. The
Cell Properties dialog box appears with the
Plots tab displayed.
-
From the
Plot list box, select
kernel.
Note: Alternatively, in step 1,
right-click directly on the kernel plot and select
Plot
Properties. Then
kernel is already
selected in the
Plot list box.
-
From the
Style Element list box, select
GraphFit2.
-
The kernel curve is
now a red dashed line. This change makes it easier to distinguish
the normal curve from the kernel curve. Note also that the legend
has been updated with the new property.
Style elements are obtained
from ODS styles and determine the format of plot elements. It is preferable
to change the style element rather than the explicit line properties
of the kernel plot. Changing the style element guarantees that the
kernel and normal plots are visually distinct for any style that is
applied to the graph.
