k = 0.2
x = [sin(2*n*k) for n in range(20)]
plot(x, color='green', linestyle='dashed', marker='o',
markerfacecolor='blue', markersize=12, linewidth=6)
There are short commands that can be used if you only need basic style changes, for example, setting the color and line style. The following table (Table 6.1) shows some examples of these formatting commands. You may use either the short string syntax plot(...,'ro-'), or the more explicit syntax plot(.....
