Dot size on custom graphs

Hi all

Is it possible to change the size of dots used in a custom graph?

Cheers

Mik

Right now you need to do that from a direct edit of the .vgd file using the :SHAPE keyword.

Hi again

I'm trying the :SHAPE command, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I am writing:

:DOTS
:SHAPE cross, 10

The shape doesn't change from the default square shape. Any idea what might be wrong?

The :SHAPE applies per variable so you need

:GRAPH Test
:VAR Variable
:SHAPE CROSS,10

BTW I am changing the graph to use line width as the dot size when no shape is specified.

Cheers Bob, I'll try that.

It would be good to have the update as I did try and change the dots size via the line width initially.

Would that change include graphs made in the custom graph editor (as opposed to the text editor)?

Cheers

Hi Bob (all)

That's still not working.

I thought it might be as I am using a combined line and dot plot (of two different variables on the same plot) but I have tried it wit just one variable and it still doesn't work.

I've tried a number of iterations (different permutations) of this and I can't change either the shape or the size of the 'dots'.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers

Mik

P.S. I've attached the vgd
