All graphical objects maintain the styles and parameters that were previously set for them. For example, if you draw a red dashed line with a thickness of 3, then the next time you choose to draw a line, it will be drawn with precisely the same settings.

The object manager can be opened by:
Double-clicking on the object with the left mouse button
Right-clicking in the chart area and selecting the line Object manager.
The left part of the window shows the areas of charts and a list of graphical objects in them, as well as a button to delete selected graphical objects from the list.
