ReferenceLineStyle
is an option for QuantilePlot and similar functions that specifies the style used for the reference line.
Details

- ReferenceLineStyle->g specifies that a graphics directive g should be used to draw the reference line.
- ReferenceLineStyle->{g1,g2,…} specifies that successive directives gi should be used cyclically for successive reference lines.
- ReferenceLineStyle->None specifies that the reference line should not be drawn.
- The directives that can be given include:
-
AbsoluteDashing[{w1,…}] dashing specification in point sizes AbsoluteThickness[w] line thickness in point size Dashing[{w1,…}] dashing specification Directive[g1,g2,…] composite graphics directive GrayLevel[i] intensity Hue[h] hue Opacity[a] opacity Red,Blue, etc. named colors RGBColor[r,g,b] RGB color Thickness[w] line thickness - Multiple directives can be given for a single reference line using Directive[g1,g2,…].
Examples
Basic Examples (4)
ReferenceLineStyle is typically a dotted form of PlotStyle:
Use ReferenceLineStyle->None to turn off the reference line:
Specify a specific style for the reference line:
Use Dashing[{}] to get a solid reference line:
