Lines and Markers



    PLOT
        AXISLABELS, FILLED SMALL BLUE CIRCLES AND LINES
      WITH
        FORMAT Y DECIMAL "0.##"
        TITLE CENTER
          "Rise In Global Temperature 1940-2006"
        TITLE Y "Degrees Centigrade"
    SELECT year, anomaly
        FROM global_temp
        WHERE year >= 1940;

Use LINE or AND LINES after a marker to draw lines. They can be any of the Entrance colors, and they can be THIN, NORMAL, THICK, or VERY THICK:



    PLOT
        THIN BLACK LINE,
        NORMAL BLACK LINE, -- default
        THICK BLACK LINE,
        VERY THICK BLACK LINE
    SELECT Jan, Jan + 40, Jan + 80, Jan + 120 FROM CPI;

Lines can also be SOLID, DOTTED, or DASHED:

    PLOT
        BLACK SOLID LINE, -- default
        BLACK DASHED LINE,
        BLACK DOTTED LINE,
    SELECT Jan, Jan + 30, Jan + 60
        FROM CPI
        WHERE year < 2007;

Markers can be FILLED, UNFILLED, or MASKED. An UNFILLED CIRCLE lets the background show through the circle. A FILLED CIRCLE fills the circle with the current color. A MASKED CIRCLE fills it with foreground color.


    PLOT
        BLACK BIG FILLED CIRCLE,
        BLACK BIG UNFILLED CIRCLE,
        BLACK BIG MASKED CIRCLE
