Extended Definition:
1. Specifies the COLOR of a graphic object. A graphic object is an object that may be drawn on the screen by Adams View, these include curves, parts, markers, arcs, outlines, boxes, circles, cylinders, frustums, spring damper graphics, force graphics, and plot curves and symbols. When the COLOR of a part is specified, all graphic objects fixed to that part are drawn with the COLOR of the part. Adams View supports the following COLORs: black, white, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Note: | If you choose the COLOR of an entity to be drawn in the view background color (typically, white or black... ) it may not show up. |

2. The line type describes how the line will look when displayed on a plot. Adams View supports solid, dash, dotdash, and dot.

3. Thickness parameter acts as a multiplier, is a real number and must be greater than zero. The default for this parameter is 1. If you specify THICKNESS=2.5 the curve will two and one half times as wide as the default. Note that large values for this parameter may result in the entire plot being covered.
