** Content: More plot editing techniques
TechPlot offers more advanced editing
commands that let you copy and paste not
only plot object but also the entire graph
to and from different Plot View windows.
That is, you can copy a graph from one Plot
View and then paste it to another position
in the same Plot View or in a different
Plot View.
All plot editing commands use the Plot
Clipboard to interchange plot information.
The Plot Clipboard is the magic behind plot
cutting and pasting. It is a special
object storage place that holds plot
information that you have cut or copied, so
you can paste it elsewhere.
█ Cut plot objects
To cut a plot object, you must first
select the plot object, then use the
Edit | Cut command to remove the selected
plot object (or group of objects) from a
Plot View window, and place the plot
information in the Plot Clipboard. You
can paste that plot object(s) into any
other Plot View window or somewhere else
in the same Plot View window by choosing
the Edit | Paste command. The plot object
remains in the Plot Clipboard so that you
can paste the same object many times.
█ Copy plot objects
To copy a plot object, you must first
select the plot object, then use the
Edit | Copy command to place the selected
plot object in the Plot Clipboard, leaving
the selected plot object intact. You can
then paste that plot object into any other
Plot View window by choosing the
Edit | Paste command.
█ Paste plot objects
To paste a plot object from the Plot
Clipboard, you choose the Edit | Paste
command. This command puts the plot object
from the Plot Clipboard into the current
Plot View window at the cursor position.
█ Delete plot objects
To delete a plot object, you must first
select the plot object, then use the
Edit | Delete command or press <Del> key to
remove the selected plot object from the
Plot View window. This action does not
place it into the Plot Clipboard.
