----------------------------------------

Sets the plot parameters of a 1D/2D curve in the entire page.

To open the dialog box choose :ref:`toolsdataset-style-order-configuration`.

from the style combo box in the toolbars, e.g.``AUTO:Default``
(see :ref:`toolbardataset-style`).

**Color Order**
   The order of 16 colors can be set. The colors beginning with the first color
   can be set to tests or channels.

.. us.dlgitem

**Marker Order**
   The order of 16 markers can be set. The markers beginning with the first
   marker can be set to tests or channels.

.. us.dlgitem

**Line Order**
   The order of 5 line styles can be set. The line styles beginning with the
   first style can be set to tests or channels.

.. us.dlgitem

**Static Style**
   In this group the color, marker and line styles can be selected to be used if
   the attribute does not vary. This style is used when in the Style Assignment
   the Static key word is selected.

.. us.dlgitem

**Style Assignment**
   In this group the assignment of color, marker and line style to tests or
   channels is set. To each attribute order (color, maker, line) a ``Test``,
   ``Channel``, ``Curve`` or the key word ``Static`` can be assigned. A test
   contains a number of channels.  Example: If you choose ``Test`` in the color
   column all datasets created from the first file (test) would be displayed in
   the first color, all datasets from the second file in the second color and so
   on.

   If you choose ``Curve`` in the color column, the first curve will be 
   displayed in the first color, the second curve in the second color 
   and so on.

   If you select ``Static`` for color order all datasets will use the static
   color.

   The assignment or marker and line style work accordingly.

.. us.dlgitem

**Line Attibutes**
   In this group the line width can be set in steps of 0.1 mm. The line width for
   all datasets is equal.

.. us.dlgitem

**Marker Attributes**
   In this group the marker attributes can be set. Marker attributes are the same
   for all datasets.

.. us.comment

**Comment**

The style order data is saved in a file with the extension :file:`.smp` in 
UniPlot's template directory. 

To create new style order files copy one of the files. Use the file 
:file:`Default.smp` as a template. The file name should be short because space
in the toolbar field is limited. 

If :file:`uniplot\\template`-directory is write protected you can save the new
files in the user directory or any other directory. To specify a new directory
choose :ref:`toolsmore-options`. In this case copy the style order files from the
:file:`uniplot/template` directory to the new directory.

The style order is displayed in the dataset style toolbar (see
:ref:`toolbardataset-style`).

If you would like to use this function in your automation scipt, see
:ref:`auto_AssignStyleOrder`.
