In addition to different line styles, it is possible to add marked to graph lines. In Vensim PLE and PLE Plus these are simply toggled on and off, while in the other configuration they can be customized.
Marker are characters that are displayed along a graph line. The defaults are numbers (and letters), but symbols can also be used.
In Vensim PLE or PLE Plus:
| Ø | Select the menu Options>Options… |
| Ø | Click on Show Line Markers on Graph Lines. |
In other configurations:
| Ø | Select the menu Tools>Options… and click on the Colors & Markings tab. |
Note the Color and Marking associated with each line. You can change these colors to any other color, and change the marking to any single character.
| Ø | Click on the Graphics tab. Under the Graph Tool field, click the left most checkbox (under Screen) for Lines Markers so that it is checked. Click on OK. |
Then for all configurations:
| Ø | Click on the Graph tool. |
Reset the Global Options dialog to defaults by unchecking the Line Markers checkbox.
NOTE Changing settings on the Colors & Markings and Graphics tabs of the Global Options dialog will change the appearance of existing graphs both on the screen and when they are printed.
