  5. Excluded Data
  6. Vertical Line
  7. Events

Line Style: Changing this option will change the line style of the traces (mean and raw). There are 6 options.

  1. None
  2. Solid
  3. Dash Dot
  4. Dash
  5. Dot
  6. Dash Dot Dot

Scatter Style: Changing this option will change the scatter style (style of each data point plotted).

Scatter Size: Changing this value will change the size of each scatter point.

Excluded Data

Color: Selecting this will open a color dialog, allowing you to change the groups color.

Mean Data thickness: Changing this value will change the thickness of the mean trace of the group when plotted.

Raw Data thickness: Changing this value will change the thickness of the raw traces of the group when plotted.

Line Style: Changing this option will change the line style of the traces (mean and raw). There are 6 options.

Scatter Style: Changing this option will change the scatter style (style of each data point plotted).

Scatter Size: Changing this value will change the size of each scatter point.

Note: To view excluded data make sure the Show Excluded Data option is checked in the General Options Dialog.
