Hi Robert, in version 7.0.1: from the manual: Dotted: Dotted is equivalent to Dashing[{0, Small}]: Dashing: If a segment has a length Subscript[r, i] specified as 0, it is drawn as a dot whose diameter is the thickness of the line. hope this helps, Daniel Robert Rosenbaum wrote: > I need to plot a function with a dotted line for a figure to be > published.
