-
-
- 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.
