ndots(50) dots(msymbol(Oh) msize(medium) mcolor(dkgreen))
By default, each line would be
composed of 100 small dots, but here
we use the
ndots(50)
option to display
50 small dots. Further, using the
dots()
option, the small dots are
displayed as medium-sized, dark green,
hollow circles. See
Styles : Symbols
(342),
Styles : Markersize
(340), and
Styles : Colors
(328) for more
information.

linetype(line)
lines(lwidth(thick) lcolor(erose))
Using the
linetype(line)
option, the
dots are instead displayed as lines.
Further, we use the
lines()
option to
make the line width thick and the line
color rose. We could also add the
lpattern()
option to control the line
pattern. See
Styles : Linewidth
(337),
Styles : Colors
(328), and
Styles : Linepatterns
(336) for more
information.
