The Wolfram Language provides hundreds of options to control every aspect of the construction and styling of graphics. The options are carefully designed to be both flexible and powerful, and to fit in with the Wolfram Language's sophisticated built-in algorithms for aesthetic optimization.

Coordinate Ranges »

PlotRange — the range of coordinates to include (All for all points)

Shape & Size »

AspectRatio — ratio of overall height to width (Automatic to use raw coordinate values)

ImageSize — absolute size of the graphic (Small , Large , number of points, ...)

Plotting Options »

PlotTheme — pick an overall visual theme (minimal, scientific, detailed, web, ...)

Joined — whether to join points into lines

Filling — what filling to add under points, curves and surfaces

Mesh — what mesh lines or mesh points to draw

PlotLabels — labels for points and curves

PlotLegends — legends for points, curves, and surfaces
