Make line plot vary between dash and dot style

[patricia70]

I have named them exactly as you did in your example (Test1 and Test2). But that doesn't work because I get the mentioned error.

I have found out by trial and error that I can use the two different plots by:

Values[0][0] = Low[0];
Values[1][0] = High[0];

Hello patricia70,

Thanks for your reply.

Test1 and Test2 are the names of the plots, so if you named your plots differently then you would need to references those names.

You may be able to accomplish your goal by using multiple plots, each set to the DashStyle of your choice. I've attached a screenshot of a quick example.

I am getting the errors here when compiling:

"name Test1 does not exist in current environment" CS0103
"name Test2 does not exist in current environment" CS0103

Do I need to declare this variable in the beginning somewhere? I don't see anything else related to Test1 or Test2 in your screenshot. Maybe if you scroll up ?

Hello catinabag,

Thanks for your post.

With a plot, you cannot change the PlotStyle or DashStyle in the same manner as the PlotBrush.

The PlotStyle or DashStyle would be applied to the entire plot.

Hello,

I have been changing color of my line plot through the if - else approach, like this:

if (Plot0[0] > Plot0[1])
{
PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.GhostWhite;
}
else if (Plot0[0] < Plot0[1])
{
PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Red;
}
else
{
PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Gray;
}

Could you please tell me the equivalent line I should utilize within the brackets in order to make the line go from dash to dot?

Thank you,
