Setting line width

Use the following syntax to set the line width:

Where <LineWidthValue> is the thickness of the line.

Example

Pen('Width','3');

Alternatively, you can use the PenWidth method:

PenWidth('3')

Pen('Style','<StyleValue>');

Where <StyleValue> can take one of the following values:

• Solid. Specifies to use solid line.
• Dash. Specifies to use dashes.
• Dot. Specifies to use dots.
• DashDot. Specifies to use alternating dashes and dots.
