Plot Area Properties

Position the mouse pointer in the Plot Area and right-click to display a context menu. On the context menu, click Plot Area Properties. IML Studio displays a dialog box containing the following tabs:

• Line Styles

This tab enables you to change the appearance of the lines. After changing any of the line attributes, you must click the large left-pointing arrow to apply the changes to the Lines list. Note that the changes are not actually applied to the plot until you click either OK or Apply.

This tab provides the following controls:

Lines

This list box displays the lines in the plot. You can select one or more items in the list to change their properties.

Attributes: Style

This drop-down list specifies the style for the selected lines.

Attributes: Width

This drop-down list specifies the width for the selected lines.

Attributes: Color

This drop-down list specifies the color for the selected lines.

Attributes: Marker

The Marker drop-down list sets the markers for the line. The default marker is the marker shown in the data table for each observation. Line markers are independent from observation markers.

Attributes: Connect observations

This check box specifies whether  the line connects adjacent observations with a line segment.

Attributes: Show observations

This check box specifies whether observations are shown along the line.

Attributes: Sort observations

This check box specifies whether observations along the line are sorted according to the value of the X variable.

For a discussion of the remaining tabs, see General Plot Properties.
