The table below lists the plot styles available in JSPlot. They should be selected using the plotStyle setting passed to a JSPlot_DataSet instance.
The plot styles available in JSPlot loosely follows those available in Pyxplot. These, in turn, loosely follow those available in gnuplot.
| Style name | Description | Required columns (2D) | Required columns (3D) |
| points | Data points | (x, y) | (x, y, z) |
| lines | Straight lines joining points | (x, y) | (x, y, z) |
| linespoints | Both points and lines styles together | (x, y) | (x, y, z) |
| xerrorbars | Error bars along the x-axis | (x, y, x_error_size) | (x, y, z, x_error_size) |
| yerrorbars | Error bars along the y-axis | (x, y, y_error_size) | (x, y, z, y_error_size) |
| zerrorbars | Error bars along the z-axis | – | (x, y, z, z_error_size) |
| xyerrorbars | Error bars along the x- and y-axes | (x, y, x_error_size, y_error_size) | (x, y, z, x_error_size, y_error_size) |
| yzerrorbars | Error bars along the y- and z-axes | – | (x, y, z, y_error_size, z_error_size) |
| xzerrorbars | Error bars along the x- and z-axes | – | (x, y, z, x_error_size, z_error_size) |
