plot linetypes option in athena windows version
Hi there, I would like to export graphics from Athena to use them in my b&w printed thesis. Therefore it would be really useful to have Athena cycle through linetypes instead of colors. I found the "linetypes" option in the "plot" section of the preferences menu. However it doesn't seem to have any effect. I am using Athena v. 0.8.056 for windows. Malte
Hi Malte, Don't do this for a thesis! Athena was never intended to produce publication-quality graphs. Export the data and read it into whatever graphing program your institution normally uses. Even Excel (or its open-source equivalents) gives you more control than Athena. --Scott Calvin Sarah Lawrence College On Sep 22, 2008, at 7:58 AM, Malte Schulz wrote:

Thank you for the quick response! I have already started exporting
data to origin. It really gives better looking plots and works fine.
So I will do it that way. Thanks again.

Hi Malte,
One free software alternative to Origin is SciDAVis:
http://scidavis.sourceforge.net/ .
Don't ask me how to pronounce the name.
