ChartStyle

ChartStyle
is an option for charting functions that specifies styles in which chart elements should be drawn.
MORE INFORMATION
  • ChartStyle->g specifies that graphics directive g should be used to draw all chart elements.
  • ChartStyle specifies that successive directives should be used cyclically for successive elements in each dataset.
  • ChartStyle uses the successive to contribute styles for successive dimensions in nested lists of datasets.
  • With the form ChartStyle, the i, j, ... element in a nested list of datasets has a style given by applying , then , etc.
  • Any that is None contributes no style directives.
  • A specification is effectively equivalent to {None, ..., None, {g1, g2, ...}}.
  • The directives that can be used in ChartStyle include:
Dashing[{w1,...}]dashing specification
Directive[g1,g2,...]composite graphics directive
EdgeForm[g]edge-drawing specification
FaceForm[g]face-drawing specification
Glow[c]glow color
GrayLevel[i]intensity
Hue[h]hue
Opacity[a]opacity
PointSize[d]point size
Red, Blue, etc.named colors
RGBColor[r,g,b]RGB color
Specularity[s]surface specularity
Thickness[w]line thickness
  • ChartStyle effectively takes the list of styles needed by ChartStyle to be given by sampling ColorData["name"][x] at equally spaced values of x.
  • Style can be used to style chart elements associated with individual data points or datasets. Such specifications are used after specifications from ChartStyle.
