Setting Line Properties

The LineProperties class is used to set the border line properties.

Before setting the border line properties the chart is seen in Fig. 829.

chart_bdr_line = ChartLineProperties(color=StandardColor.GREEN_DARK3, width=2.2)
Chart2.style_background(chart_doc=chart_doc, styles=[chart_bdr_line])

The results are seen in Fig. 657 and Fig. 658
