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.

Ragards,
B
