No restrictions.<br />

If command is used inside an <strong>mfpic</strong><br />

environment, it should come before the<br />

\tcaption command.<br />

To turn on debugging while <strong>mfpic</strong>.tex is<br />

loading, issue \def\<strong>mfpic</strong>debug{true}.<br />

Should not be used together. Command forms<br />

5.4 Plotting Styles for \plotdata.<br />

When \plotdata passes from one curve to the next, it increments a counter and uses that counter to<br />

select a dash pattern, color, or symbol. It uses predefined dash patterns named dashtype0 through<br />

dashtype5, or predefined colors named colortype0 through colortype7, or predefined symbols<br />

named pointtype0 through pointtype8. Here follows a description of each of these variables.<br />

These variables must not be used in the second argument of \reconfigureplot, whose purpose is<br />

to redefine these variables.<br />

Under \dashedlines, we have the following dash patterns:<br />

NAME PATTERN MEANING<br />

dashtype0 0bp solid line<br />

dashtype1 3bp,4bp dashes<br />

dashtype2 0bp,4bp dots<br />

dashtype3 0bp,4bp,3bp,4bp dot-dash<br />

dashtype4 0bp,4bp,3bp,4bp,0bp,4bp dot-dash-dot<br />

dashtype5 0bp,4bp,3bp,4bp,3bp,4bp dot-dash-dash<br />

Under \coloredlines, we have the following colors. Except for black and red, each color is<br />

altered as indicated. This is an attempt to make the colors more equal in visibility against a white<br />

background. (The success of this attempt varies greatly with the output or display device.) Four of<br />

the eight colors use the cmyk model when the METAPOST version is at least 1.000.<br />

NAME COLOR (R,G,B) (C,M,Y,K)<br />

colortype0 black (0,0,0) (0,0,0,1)<br />

colortype1 red (1,0,0)<br />

colortype2 blue (.2,.2,1)<br />

colortype3 orange (.66,.34,0)<br />

colortype4 green (0,.8,0)<br />

colortype5 magenta (.85,0,.85) (0,.85,0,.15)<br />

colortype6 cyan (0,.85,.85) (.85,0,0,.15)<br />

colortype7 yellow (.85,.85,0) (0,0,.85,.15)<br />

Under \pointedlines and \datapointsonly, the following symbols are used. Internally each<br />

is referred to by the numeric name, but they are identical to the more descriptive name. Syntactically,<br />

all are METAFONT path variables. (The order changed between versions 0.6 and 0.7.)
