19.3.3 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 $1.2\, \mathrm{mm}$; other values differ from this multiplicatively.

axes_minTickLen

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 $0.85\, \mathrm{mm}$; other values differ from this multiplicatively.

axes_separation

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 $8\, \mathrm{mm}$; other values differ from this multiplicatively.

axes_textGap

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 $3\, \mathrm{mm}$; other values differ from this multiplicatively.

colorScale_margin

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the separation left between the axes of plots drawn using the 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.

colorScale_width

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the width of the color scale bars drawn alonside plots drawn using the colormap plot style. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s width; other values differ from this multiplicatively.

grid_majLineWidth

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the line width used to draw major gridlines (default $1.0$).

grid_minLineWidth

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the line width used to draw minor gridlines (default $0.5$).

baseline_lineWidth

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

Sets the PostScript line width which corresponds to a linewidth of 1.0. A value of 1.0 corresponds to Pyxplot’s default line width of $0.2\, \mathrm{mm}$; other values differ from this multiplicatively.

baseline_pointSize

Possible values: Any floating-point number.

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