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.)
