    Question How to make lines thinner in a graph?

    Hello.

    Here is a screenshot of my problem: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img844/6378/ej4z.png

    I made a graph with thousand of points, but the lines which make the curves are too thick and so I can't see exactly where they intersect. I would like to make them thinner.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    I've already tried that. When I try to decrease the size there's a Microsoft Excel message which says this:
    "L'affichage de la mise en forme complexe appliqué au graphique sélectionné risque de prendre du temps. Voulez-vous continuer à utiliser la mise en forme ?"
    Which could be roughly translated in English by:
    "The display of complex formatting applied to the selected chart/graph may take some time. Do you want to continue using the formatting?"
    And then when I click on "Yes" and decrease the size it does nothing.


    PS: I've tried to change the language in Excel to English but it doesn't work...

    I frequently get the same warning message when trying to make thinner lines. When I click on "yes" in that warning dialog, Excel has always applied the requested formatting, so I don't understand why nothing changes.

    What value are you putting into the line width box? When I need to see something like this, I typically choose a line width of 1 pt or less.
