Re: line style and legend

[Ansley Manke <ansley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Arindam,
I don't believe there's a way to store the line styles which are
automatically assigned as lines are plotted, but you could assign
them yourself using symbols and keep those symbols for later use.
For example:

let pencolor = {"red", "blue", "black"}
let penthick = {1, 2, 2}

plot/i=1:150/color=`pencolor[i=1]`/thickness=`penthick[i=1]` sin(i/15)
plot/over/i=1:150/color=`pencolor[i=2]`/thickness=`penthick[i=2]` sin(i/20)
plot/over/i=1:150/color=`pencolor[i=3]`/thickness=`penthick[i=3]` sin(i/30)

Then you could use the variables pencolor and penthick elsewhere.
One could do something similar for plot symbols and dash characteristics,
as well.

The standard ordering of lines, that's automatically defined,  would be:
{ "black", "red", "green", "blue", "lightblue", "purple"}, and thickness is
1 for the first 6 lines, 2 for the next 6, 3 for lines 16-18.

Hello Ferreters,
        is there any way to store the line styles (color, symbol
etc) for a overlaying plot so that those can be used for making
automatic legends later on (using a go file)? By default Ferret
shows those lines in the left-bottom corner.

thanks,

Arindam
