Re: how to change Y/X axis border line color in xyplot

Hi Guangshan,

You responded previously that you wanted to color one axis one color,
and then another axis another color, and thus tmBorderLineColor won't
work for this.

There is a work around to get what you want though, by selectively
drawing individual axis while drawing the xy-plot multiple times. This
is best illustrated by an example script/image. (attached)

You can go a step farther and color the tickmark labels the same color
as the respective axis.
Hope this helps.
