Creating a Heterogeneous Panel

Create a Heterogeneous Panel from the Graph Gallery

To create a heterogeneous panel from the Graph Gallery:
  1. Open the Graph Gallery if it is not already open. For instructions, see Open and Use the Graph Gallery.
  2. Select the heterogeneous panel that you want. Examples of heterogeneous panels include the Data Profile 1 graph and the Time Series graph, both on the Analytical tab.
  3. Click OK.
    A message box informs you that you must change the data for each cell independently. Click OK to dismiss the message box. (You can check the Don't show this dialog again check box to prevent the message from appearing again.)
  4. Change the data that is assigned to the plots in a cell. For instructions, see Change the Data Assignment for a Plot in a Graph.
    Repeat this step for each cell.
Note: As an alternative to this procedure, you can select a single-cell graph from the Graph Gallery and assign data to the graph. Then you can add rows and columns to create a heterogeneous panel.
After you have created the graph, you can add or remove cells and plots and make other changes. For example, you can add titles, footnotes, and legends to the graph. You can also change the sizes of the rows, columns, or both. For instructions, see Resize a Row or Column.

Create a Heterogeneous Panel from a Blank Graph Window

To create a heterogeneous panel from a blank graph window:
  1. Select Filethen selectNewthen selectBlank Graph. An empty graph appears.
  2. Perform the following sequence:
    1. Add a row or column to the graph. For instructions, see Adding Rows and Columns to a Graph.
      The graph now contains two cells, either in two rows or in two columns.
    2. Add a plot to one of the empty cells. For instructions, see Add a Plot to a Graph.
      The Assign Data dialog box opens.
    3. Assign data to the plot. For instructions, see Assign Data to a New Plot.
    4. Repeat the previous two steps for the other cell.
    5. (Optional) Add more plots to either cell, and assign data to the plots.
  3. (Optional) Add more rows or columns to the graph. For each new cell that is created, add one or more plots and assign data to the plots.
After you have created the graph, you can customize the graph. For example, you can add titles, footnotes, and legends to the graph. You can also change the sizes of the rows, columns, or both. For instructions, see Resize a Row or Column.
