style keywords

The style properties of components (e.g., color) are controlled through a common set of keyword options passed during object creation. For example,

c = Curve( x, y, color="red" )

changes the color of the curve to red. Keywords which are not relevant (for instance, setting fontface for a Line object) are ignored.

color
fillcolor
linecolor = RGB-triple | X-color-name
Set line or fill color (color sets both). An RGB triple is a six digit hexadecimal integer, 0xRRGGBB, where RR, GG, BB are the red, green, and blue color contents. For instance, 0xffffff is white and 0xff0000 is red. You can also use color names (e.g., "red", "lightgrey"). Listings of acceptable names can be found in rgb.txt (usually found in /usr/lib/X11/) and colors.txt (usually found in /usr/share/libplot/).
