I am using Athena and Artemis to analysis my EXAFS data. I want to plot the raw data in dashed line and the fitting in solid line. I tried "settings","plot" selections in Artemis(version 1.2.4), but no line style choice is available. Can you please tell me how to change the settings?

Chuanyong, I am taking the liberty of replying to your email via the Ifeffit mailing list. There is currently no ability to change the linestyle in Artemis. Sorry. It would be resonable to have separate linestyles for the data, the fit, and the other components of the fit (i.e. background and paths). I will put that on the list of things to do. I should point out that I consider the graphics in Artemis and Athena (that is the pgplot graphics that are provided via ifeffit) to be for quick-n-dirty, on screen plotting. I don't make any great effort to provide graphics that are beautiful enough for publication. For that, I think it is better to export the components of the desired plot to column data files and use a program (Origin, Kaleidagraph, Igor, XMGrace, SciGraphica, or whatever) that is intended for making beautiful, publication-quality plots. The level of graphical sophistication that one expects for publication is beyond the scope of what Artemis and Athena are intended to do. Still, your request for different line types is a reasonable one and I will implement it eventually.
