Line type and stacking is described in Graph Dictionary rather than
View. The Cricket Reference guide writes:

| Each named graph dictionary entry (not --default--) should share the name of
| a datasource dictionary entry. In this respect, the graph dictionary could be
| merged with the datasource dictionary.

In other words each Graph belongs to one and only one Datasource and
vice versa. If you need different visual representations of the
same info you have to create several Datasources based on the same
DS-Source.
As far as I understand. :-)
