Plot Tips
- A new plot will always uses the default properties. To automatically vary the plot colors when adding new plots, use the Create button in the Plot page of the Property Manager or use the Graph Wizard.
- The Plot command is disabled with pie charts and doughnut plots because pie charts and doughnut plots cannot have any graph types added to them. To add multiple doughnut plots to an existing doughnut plot, click the Create button in the Property Manager on the Plot tab.
- The type of plot that can be added to the graph varies depending on the type of plot in the original graph. For example, if part of a polar plot is selected in step 1, only polar-type plots are available in the Select Plot Type dialog.
- If your data are organized into one file, you can use the New plot option in some plot properties to add new plots to the graph.
