**Example**

The following example creates a sin dataset with a 0.4 mm line.

::

   // Create sin curve
   x = linspace(0,2*PI,100);
   y = sin(x);
   h = plot(x, y);
   // Create pen
   hPen = PenCreate(PS_DASH, 4, [255, 0, 0]);
   // Set pen for the new dataset (0.4 mm, red)
   XYSetPen(h[3], hPen);
   // Delete Pen
   // The  ...SetPen functions uses
   // a copy of the pen
   PenDestroy(hPen);
