The first tab of the right part of the dialog window allows to modify the style of the line (color, line style, thickness). The connect button allows to change the style which is used to draw the selected curve (steps, droplines, etc). See the Plot menu to see the different types of plot available.
A second tab can be activated to select the symbol, and to modify the size, the color and the filling color of the symbols.
Custom curves for pie plots
These commands are available for pie plots. The first tab allows the customization of the pie segments. The left fields are used to modify the border which is drawn round each segment: color, type and width of line. The default is no border (line width = 0).
The right fields are used to define the filling of the plots. The color button defines the one used for the first segment, then the others segments will have colors which follow the order defined in the list. The default value for this field is black, so segment 2, 3, etc will be red, green, etc.
The pattern will be used for all segments of the pie, the default value is solid filling. The last field defines the size of the pie in pixels.
