Comments

Curve blocks define a single curve in a plot window. Each curve in a window requires a *BeginCurve() block. Every curve block contains vector blocks that specify vector data for the curve. Every *BeginCurve() statement requires a closing *EndCurve() statement.

The curve name appears in the curve list on the Define Curves and Curve Attributes panels.

Curve attributes such as line style, color, and weight are specified using the *Line() statement. Symbols are assigned to curves using the *Symbol() statement.

For more information on plot curves, see Build Plots in the User Guide.
