Parameters:

&myPlot (struct pointer) – A plotControl structure pointer.
thickness (Scalar) – the thickness of the axes line in pixels.
clr (string) – Optional argument, name or rgb value of the new color for the axes.

the style of the pen. Options include:

Examples#

// Declare plotControl structure
struct plotControl myPlot;

// Initialize plotControl structure
myPlot = plotGetDefaults("xy");

// Set drawn axes lines to be 3 pixels wide and black
plotSetAxesPen(&myPlot, 3, "black");

// Create data
x = seqa(0.1, 0.1, 50);
y = sin(x)~cos(x);

// Plot the data with the new line colors
plotXY(myPlot, x, y);

Remarks#

The X and Y axis line properties can be set separately with plotSetXPen() and plotSetYPen().
A bounding box can be set around the entire graph with plotSetOutlineEnabled().
