\label{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Curve}

The \textbf{curve} tag is where you set the data to be plotted by gnuplot.

The following parameters may be set:

\begin{itemize}

\item color of curve

The color of the curve on the plot. See \textbf{Selecting Colors} 
\ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Color_Selection}.


\item name of curve to appear in key

If a key is present, the name of the curve will appear with a sample of its
line type.

\item line style

See the section on line styles \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Linestyle} for
more information about the available line styles and their data requirements.

\item point type

This parameter may not apply to all linestyles.
 
\item point size

This parameter may not apply to all linestyles.  The size of the points, in
pixels, present on the line.  Some point types are not affected by this
parameter.

\end{itemize}

There are two ways of entering the information to be plotted, which are 
accessed using the subtags of \textbf{curve}, \textbf{data} 
\ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Curve_Data} and \textbf{function}
\ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Curve_Function}.
