Description

The Colour Index and Linestyle will be changed for the selected entity. The actual colour and linestyle displayed cannot be guaranteed on different graphics displays but every effort is made to ensure consistency.

It should also be noted that changing the colour for a curve type is not reflected in the plotting process. To change colours while plotting the DEFINE PLOT PEN command must be used.

Command Qualifiers

/COLOUR $N	Assign colour index to data entity.
/DEFAULT	Resets back to system defaults.
/LINETYPE $N	Assign linestyle index to data entity.
/SHOW	Lists the current settings.
