The plot and plot3d Options
If you are using commands to insert a plot, you can specify plot options as
arguments at the end of the calling sequence. You can specify the options
in any order. Applying plot options in the command syntax offers a few more
options and greater control than what is available in the Interactive Plot
Builder and context menus.
