9.3.3 The styling section

The styling section can contain any of the following settings in any order:

arrow_headAngle

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the angle, in degrees, at which the two sides of arrow heads meet at its point.

arrow_headSize

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the size of all arrow heads. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s default size.

arrow_headBackIndent

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the size of the indentation in the back of arrow heads. The default size is 0.2. Sensible values lie in the range 0 (no indentation) to 1 (the indentation extends the whole length of the arrow head). Less sensible values may be used by the aesthetically adventurous.

axes_lineWidth

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the line width used to draw graph axes.

axes_majTickLen

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the length of major axis ticks. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s default length of

$$1.2 mm$; other values differ from this multiplicatively. \\ {\tt axes\_ minTickLen} &  {\bf Possible values:} Any floating-point number. 

Sets the length of minor axis ticks. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s default length of 

$0.85 mm$; other values differ from this multiplicatively. \\ {\tt axes\_ separation} &  {\bf Possible values:} Any floating-point number. 

Sets the separation between parallel axes on graphs, less the width of any text labels associated with the axes. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s default spacing of 

$8 mm$; other values differ from this multiplicatively. \\ {\tt axes\_ textGap} &  {\bf Possible values:} Any floating-point number. 

Sets the separation between axes and the text labels which are associated with them. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s default spacing of 

$3 mm$; other values differ from this multiplicatively. \\ {\tt colorScale\_ margin} &  {\bf Possible values:} Any floating-point number. 

Sets the separation left between the axes of plots drawn using the {\tt colormap} plot style, and of the color scales drawn alongside them. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s default spacing; other values differ from this multiplicatively. \\ {\tt colorScale\_ width} &  {\bf Possible values:} Any floating-point number. 

Sets the width of the color scale bars drawn alonside plots drawn using the {\tt colormap} plot style. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s width; other values differ from this multiplicatively. \\ {\tt grid\_ majLineWidth} &  {\bf Possible values:} Any floating-point number. 

Sets the line width used to draw major gridlines (default 

$1.0$). \\ {\tt grid\_ minLineWidth} &  {\bf Possible values:} Any floating-point number. 

Sets the line width used to draw minor gridlines (default 

$0.5$). \\ {\tt baseline\_ lineWidth} &  {\bf Possible values:} Any floating-point number. 

Sets the PostScript line width which corresponds to a {\tt linewidth} of 1.0. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s default line width of 

$0.2 mm$; other values differ from this multiplicatively. \\ {\tt baseline\_ pointSize} &  {\bf Possible values:} Any floating-point number. 

Sets the baseline point size which corresponds to a {\tt pointsize} of 1.0. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s default; other values differ from this multiplicatively. \\
