Then select either the Lines tab or the Area tab depending if the selected series is line or a bar.

The lines tab allows the user to change the properties of lines and line markers.
- Line - visible: toggles visibility of line
- Line - style: change the line style
- Line - color: change the line color
- Line - size: change the line width
- Marker - visible: toggles visibility of line markers
- Marker - style: change the marker shape
- Marker - size: change size of marker
Areas tab
The areas tab allows the user to change the properties of areas such as bars and markers
- Border - visible: toggles visibility of area border
- Border - color: change the border color
- Border - size: change the border width
- Area - visible: toggle the visibility of the fill color
