Pages 2 19-30 and 3 1-18 for basics on getting
started.
A. Profiles
Chart type = Paired X-Y no grid (8 20, 11 24)
1. When selecting data for charting the first column is automatically assigned as the X values, the second column are the Y values. To change the order of assignment, pick your X data column then hold down the cloverleaf key while selecting the column for your Y values.
2. You can save and apply chart formats by using the library. (pp. 2 28-29 and 15 1-10)
3. Once you have created a chart you can superimposed other profile lines bya. selecting the chart
b. under the chart menu select revise data
c. the data page will reappear
d. choose you original X and Y data, then while holding down the cloverleaf key pick the other columns of data you wish to plot. When finished click on the the revise key.
note: there may be a strange gray line at the base of your profile. To eliminate it, select it and color it white.You will need to maintain the same vertical exaggeration on all your graphs. I don't recommend anything over 10x. Once you've calculated the length of your axes you can set them in the program and save them in the library

Chart type=Table chart (pp. 8 17-18)
