Adding or Removing Plot Areas

Each Display can contain one or more Plot Areas. A Plot Area groups Pens and Vertical Scales in the same Display. All Plot Areas use the same Time Axis, which is unique for a Display.

When the mouse pointer is over a Display's area, the Add Plot Area and Remove Plot Area options are shown below the legend and allow, respectively, adding or removing a Plot Area. The add option stacks a new Plot Area on the Display and the remove option deletes the top Plot Area of a Display. Pens and Axes linked to a Plot Area are also removed.

 

NOTE

If users want to keep the Pens used on a Plot Area, drag them to another Plot Area or to another Display before removing them.

Plot Areas, by default, are removed in reverse order of insertion when using the Remove Plot Area option. To remove a specific Plot Area, right-click the Area and select the Delete Plot Area option.
