Makie - What are the available line styles?

Kolaru · June 25, 2021, 1:59pm

Looking at the documentation I can not found what are the available line styles for plotting lines. I only found :dashed in one example.

Having a list somewhere or, if it already exists and I missed it, a link to it in the documentation of lines would be helpful.

It’s dash, dot, dashdot and dashdotdot I think. We should add examples on the lines page. And you can pass an array of relative segment and gap lengths as well.

You can have a look at the convert functions:

github.com

JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/blob/master/src/conversions.jl#L754-L855


      
          end
          Palette(name::Union{String, Symbol}, n = 8) = Palette(categorical_colors(name, n))
          function to_color(p::Palette)
              N = length(p.colors)
              p.i[] = p.i[] == N ? 1 : p.i[] + 1
              return p.colors[p.i[]]
          end
          
          
to_color(c::Nothing) = c # for when color is not used
          to_color(c::Number) = Float32(c)
          to_color(c::Colorant) = convert(RGBA{Float32}, c)
          to_color(c::Symbol) = to_color(string(c))
          to_color(c::String) = parse(RGBA{Float32}, c)
          to_color(c::AbstractArray) = to_color.(c)
          to_color(c::AbstractArray{<: Colorant, N}) where N = convert(Array{RGBAf, N}, c)
          to_color(p::AbstractPattern) = p
          function to_color(c::Tuple{<: Any,  <: Number})
              col = to_color(c[1])
              return RGBAf(Colors.color(col), alpha(col) * c[2])
          end

Hi All,
I guess the Legend(…) is also supposed to work with this custom (vector) linestyles, the same way it does with :dash, :dot. It is not working in my case. Could you confirm that? If so, I will try to debug and build a minimum working example.
Thanks

Is this maybe the same problem as in this issue? Legend dash and dashdot · Issue #1908 · JuliaPlots/Makie.jl · GitHub

Then you need to increase the Legend patchsize
