Syntax

Argument	Description
dwcontrol	A reference to the DataWindow control containing the graph.
graphcontrol	A string whose value is the name of the graph in the DataWindow control.
seriesname	A string whose value is the name of the series for which you want to set the line style and width.
linestyle	A value of the LineStyle enumerated datatype (in PowerBuilder) or an integer (for the Web ActiveX) specifying the line style. For a list of values, see LineStyle.
linewidth (optional for PowerBuilder)	An integer specifying the width of the line in pixels.

Return Values

Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any
argument’s value is null, SetSeriesStyle returns
null.

Usage

Data points in a series can have their own style settings.
Settings made with SetDataStyle set the style
of individual data points and override series settings.

The graph stores style information for properties that do
not apply to the current graph type. For example, you can set the
fill pattern in a two–[Unmapped Entity: shy ]
dimensional line graph
or the line style in a bar graph, but that fill pattern or line
style will not be visible.

You can specify the appearance of a series in the graph before
the application draws the graph. To do so:

• PowerBuilder

  Define a user event for pbm_dwngraphcreate and call SetSeriesStyle
  in the script for that event. The event pbm_dwngraphcreate is
  triggered just before a graph is created in a DataWindow object.

• Web ActiveX

  Call any of the SetSeriesStyle methods
  in the onGraphCreate event.
