Overlay Plots

You can place more than one data sheet on a plot by using an overlay plot. To add an overlay plot to a project, choose Insert > Reports and Plots > Overlay Plot.

When you add a new, blank overlay plot to a project, you must first select the data sheets in the Select Data Sheets window and select which plots you want to include. Many of the functions in an overlay plot are similar to those in a standard plot.

What’s Changed? In previous versions of the software, overlay plots were known as MultiPlots.

Plot Types

The subset of plots available in the overlay plot control panel will be limited to the plots that are common to the data sheets you have selected. If a plot type is unavailable for any of the data sets included in the overlay plot, it will be unavailable in the overlay plot. It is possible for the selected data sheets to not have any common plot types.

When you add a new blank overlay plot to a project, a list of all the available data sheets in the project will be shown. Select the data sheets you wish to include and click OK to create the plot.
