8.2 Pyxplot’s plot styles

This section provides a complete list of Pyxplot’s plot styles, arranged into groups for clarity. Table 8.2 summarises the columns of data expected by each plot style when used on two- and three-dimensional plots. The following sections describe each of these plot styles in turn.
