Line Properties
Control chart line appearance and behavior
Line properties control the appearance and behavior of a Line object. By changing property values, you can modify certain
aspects of the line chart.
Starting in R2014b, you can use dot notation to query and set properties.
p = plot(1:10);
c = p.Color;
p.Color = 'red';
If you are using an earlier release, use the get and set functions instead.
