I am trying to make the line in graphs a little thicker using a script (color line.txt). But I do not see any effects on thickness although the program runs well without any error message.
Any advice.
Sincerely,
Sajjadur Rahman

Your program is using thicklines.txt (which changes the width of B&W lines), not colorline.txt. And your colorline.txt file is designed as a source file, not as a style file and it doesn't put the color codes (the RGB codings of the colors). This is more like what you would want:

grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_01=0,000000,10.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_02=0,0000ff,10.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_03=0,00ff00,10.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_04=0,ff0000,10.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_05=0,00ffff,10.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_06=0,ff00ff,10.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_07=0,ffff00,10.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_08=0,808080,10.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_09=0,804000,10.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_10=0,804000,10.0")

and in the program you want

source colorline.txt

not GRPARM with IMPORT. Note, however, that you will probably find the 10 is way too thick.

Thanks for your help.

On another note, I am trying to insert marker (circles) on several colored impulse responses to show the significance (files attached). I successfully did it in the attached black and white pdf file. I added the following in the text file but it is not working.

grparm(define="SYMBOL_COLOR_01=0,FF0000,1")

Any help?

Sincerely,
Sajjadur.

The PDF wasn't done with RATS was it? It doesn't look like a RATS graph.

The PDF was done using RATS. I attached the files here.

Any advice how can I place marker on multiple colored lines (files attached before)?

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Sajjadur.

STYLE=DOTS actually uses the "fill" styles, not the symbol styles (since you have no choice but to use color or grayscale). If you switch your styles on the overlays to 1 and 2 from 5 and 5, the color will do what you want. To get the B&W correct, add

grparm(define="fill_bw_02=0,0.0")

to redefine the style 2 fill to also be full black.

Thanks for your help again. One more thing. Is it possible to add any instruction in SPGRAPH to generate just one set of key instead of three set (as in the attached pdf file)?

Sincerely,
Sajjadur.

See "Options for Adding a Key" in the description of SPGRAPH.

Thanks again.

I replaced the yellow with teal (008080). The line is showing as teal but marker remains yellow as in the pdf files. Any thought?

source file:
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_01=0,000000,2.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_02=0,0000ff,2.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_03=0,00ff00,2.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_04=0,ff0000,2.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_05=0,00ffff,2.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_06=0,ff00ff,2.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_07=0,008080,2.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_08=0,808080,2.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_09=0,ff8000,2.0")
grparm(define="LINE_COLOR_10=0,800000,2.0")

The dots use the fill color, not the line color.
