2.  To save a style, press the Save Style… button. The following dialog is displayed:

3.  Type in a style name (to create a new style) or select an existing style from the drop list (to overwrite an existing style).

4.  Press OK to save the style.

   Note: You cannot overwrite the "built-in" styles provided by GoldSim. As a result, the drop list only contains user-defined styles.

You can apply a chart style to a result chart as follows:

2.  The following dialog is displayed:

3.  Select the style you wish to apply, and press OK.

   Note: Styles store all the information required for all types of charts (with the exception of the Data Style). Hence, any style can be applied to any kind of chart. In practice, however, you will typically create and apply different styles for different types of charts in order to better customize their appearance.
