Dashes and Spaces
The Enter dash length and space length box determines the pattern of the custom line. As an example, refer to the custom dash line style shown above. A pattern of 0.5, 0.25 will create a line with .5 inch dashes and .25 inch gaps. The pattern repeats the dash pattern and is displayed in the Sample box. Enter a single value into the Enter dash length and space length box to create a dashed line with equally sized dashes and spaces.
Name
Click on one of the displayed line styles and the name of the selected line style appears in the Name field. Type a new line style name in the Name field if you are creating a custom style.
Sample
The Sample box shows the new line style.
Save Custom Line Styles
Click Save Custom Line Styles to add the new line style to the end of the line palette. Type the new line style name into the Name field before adding the new line style. This makes the custom line styles available in all Grapher sessions.
Remove Selected
Click Remove Selected Custom Line Style to delete the selected line style. Predefined line styles cannot be removed.
Line Style Palette
The line style palette at the top of the dialog shows all line styles.
OK or Cancel
