The folder displays a new chart window item, with the name New and the name of
the selected template. Enter an appropriate name for the window.
Open the new chart window. The window displays the name you entered.
Add graphs to the chart by dragging a variable from the variable list or a variable
row from a legend of another chart window. In terms of the determination of plot
configurations, these two methods differ in the following way:
When you drag variables from the variable list, the graph definitions comply with
the template defaults and the graph color with the order of addition. When you drag
variable rows from another chart window, the graph definitions comply with the
original graph.
When dragging a variable or variable item from another
database, the default definitions are not copied along with
the variable. In this case the history table for the new item
has to be updated from the Properties dialog.
To add graphs from a variable list:
1. Open the variable list. To simultaneously view both the list and the chart window,
move the variable list to a new horizontal tab by opening the Window menu in the
menu bar and selecting Move to a New Horizontal Leaf.
