The Window Menu
Use the Window menu to organize several plots.
The Window menu options are:

Tabbed View: With this option, plots are layered as tabs so you can see the file name of each open plot (or
Untitled* for an unsaved data file). You can also get to this view by clicking the Tabs icon in the lower
left of the window.

Tile Horizontally: Select this option to arrange up to five plots horizontally. If six or more plots are open,
they are tiled as a grid. You can also get to this view by clicking the Horizontal Tile icon in the lower left
of the window.

Tile Vertically: Select this option to arrange up to five plots vertically. If six or more plots are open, they
are tiled as a grid. You can also get to this view by clicking the Vertical Tile icon in the lower left of the
window.
Tip: You can open the same data file multiple times to create different views of the graph, then use the Tile
commands on the Window menu (or resize and move the windows manually) to see all of them at once. This is
helpful if you want to zoom in on several different areas and view them side-by-side, see the detail of a small
area while the full graph is still in view, or view each series in a different window.
