void SetLineMarkerShape( <String sVarName,> int nShape )
void SetLineMarkerShape( <int nLineNum,> int nShape )
void SetLineMarkerShape( <Matrix mLineSpec,> int nShape )
int nShape
A predefined constant specifying the desired marker shape. The valid values are MARKER_SQUARE, MARKER_PLUS, MARKER_CIRCLE, MARKER_DIAMOND, MARKER_X, MARKER_TRIANGLE,
MARKER_INVTRIANGLE, and MARKER_STAR. The nShape parameter can also be -1, which instructs the plot to use the default marker shape for each observation along the line.
See Remarks for further details.
String sVarName
The name of the Y axis variable whose line you want to affect.
int nLineNum
The number (1-based) of the line you want to affect.
Matrix mLineSpec
If mLineSpec is a numeric matrix, the first element specifies the number (1-based) of the line you want to affect. If mLineSpec is a character matrix, the first element specifies
the name of the Y axis variable whose line you want to affect.
This method changes the marker shape used to represent each observation along a line in a line plot. If you do not specify sVarName, nLineNum, or mLineSpec, the method acts on all lines in the plot.
The versions of this method that accept a Y axis variable name can only be used with line plots that do not use group variables.
By default, a line plot obtains the marker shape of each observation from the associated DataObject. The method SetLineMarkerShape enables you to override the marker shapes stored in the DataObject on a line-by-line basis.
When the method SetLineMarkerShape is used to override the marker shapes for a line, the plot draws the markers in the same color as the line. In this case the plot does not use the fill and outline colors stored in the DataObject.
