Syntax: |
SET PLOTSYMBOLCOLOR n
|
Default: |
PLOTSYMBOLCOLOR = black
|
Note: The
GET PLOTSYMBOLCOLOR
command always returns the color index, and not the
color name, even if PLOTSYMBOLCOLOR
was set with a color name.
PLOTSYMBOLCOLOR
controls the color of the plotting symbols drawn when the
GRAPH
command is entered. The parameter n
can be either a fixed color name,
a numeric scalar, or a numeric vector. If n
is a fixed color name or a numeric scalar,
every symbol will have the same color.
A positive numeric value represents the index of the color in the currently loaded colormap.
A negative number represents the index of the fixed color.
A string value should be one of the fixed color names.
If n
is a numeric vector, the i
th symbol's color will be
n[i]
, where n[i] > 0
n[i] < 0
n
must be the same as the length of the data vectors being plotted.
For example:
SET PLOTSYMBOLCOLOR 2
uses the colormap index 2
SET PLOTSYMBOLCOLOR -2
uses the fixed color index 2
SET PLOTSYMBOLCOLOR RED
uses the fixed color name
"RED"
