LINESTYLE Rapidly set color, style, and width properties of lines. LINESTYLE provides an efficient way to set common properties of large groups of lines, and allows the user to quickly apply predefined sets of line colors, styles, and widths designed for different purposes. 'LINESTYLE 1k-- 2.5g- m-.' sets the first line to width 1, color black, and dashed style; the second to width 2.5, color green, and solid style; and the third to width 1, color magenta, and dash-dotted style. LINESTYLE's color options supports grayscale colors, denoted by capital letters A--K, with A being white and K being black. Also, the new Matlab colors are denoted by the letters T through Z. LINESTYLE supports a number of predefined formats. Type LINESTYLE with no arguments to see a list of current style sets. In general the format is LINESTYLE STR1 STR2 STR3 ... where each of the STRs may contain a number, specifying the width of the Ith line; a letter, for the color; and a style string. Any two of these are optional, with a unit width solid black line as the default. By default, styles are looped if the number of STRs input is less than the number of lines in the current plot. The input LINESTYLE STR1 STR2 ... STRN +++ causes the last style input, STRN, to be repeated instead. Note that LINESTYLE will set styles for both lines as well as patch edges. This is usually the desired behavior, as contours from CONTOUR are actually patches. If this is not what is desired, call LINESTYLE with the explicit handle specification below, or else add contour plots to the current plot after calling LINESTYLE. _______________________________________________________________________ Locking and unlocking LINESYTLE LOCK and LINESTYLE UNLOCK lock and unlock all axes in the current figure. When LOCK is on, calls to LINESTYLE or LINERING are applied to all lines in the current figure. _______________________________________________________________________ Handle specification LINESTYLE -H HAN STR1 STR2 .... applies the formatting only to the line handles contained in handle array HAN. LINESTYLE(HAN,STR) also works. HAN may also be the handle to a group of contours. _________________________________________________________________ This is part of JLAB --- type 'help jlab' for more information (C) 2000--2016 J.M.
