The jqPlot css file is, unremarkably, jquery.jqplot.css and resides in the same directory as jqPlot itself.</p><p>There exist some styling related javascript properties on the plot objects themselves (like fontStyle, fontSize, etc.). These can be set with the options object at plot creation. Generally, setting these options is <b>NOT</b> the preferred way to customize the look of the plot. Use the css file instead. <b>These options are deprecated and may disappear</b>. The exceptions are certain background and color options which control attributes of something renderered on a canvas. This would be line color, grid background, etc. These must be set by the options object. For a list of available options, see <ahref="jqPlotOptions-txt.html#jqPlot_Options"class=LSectionid=link1onMouseOver="ShowTip(event, 'tt1', 'link1')"onMouseOut="HideTip('tt1')">jqPlot Options</a>.</p><p>Objects in the plot that can be customized by css are given a css class like “.jqplot-*”. For example, the plot title will have a “.jqplot-title” class, the axes “.jqplot-axis”, etc.</p><p>Currently assigned classes in jqPlot are as follows:</p><tableborder=0cellspacing=0cellpadding=0class=CDescriptionList><tr><tdclass=CDLEntry>.jqplot-target</td><tdclass=CDLDescription>Styles for the plot target div.
