Select "non-image data" and 8 panels. Click each panel number, then "Select CDF/Key Parameter". Click "OK => Go Plot" to make a plot in default settings. (2) Customize the plot: Click "Plot Control" on the main menu bar and then "Change Plot Settings". Select : 1. "Overall Plot Settings" to change overall font size, etc. 2. "Panel Layout and Positions" to change the panel locations. First, change x coordinate values of all panels and then each y coordinate values. A user can add a window grid on the top of the display window to locate the desired positions. Note: When the plot was first created, it looked pretty odd and plot panel looked like a line rather than a box. This is not a problem. There are many ways to correct this. To make default plotting nicer, a user can adjust the plot margins or display window size before making plots. Or, simply, adjust the panel positions after the first plot. 3. "Axis Settings" -> "Axes: X, Y, and Z (color bar)" to change the X axis settings. Erase X-axis labels and click not to annotate these X-axes for the panels from 1 to 7. Change Z-Axis (Color bar) labels. (3) Click "Plot Control" -> "Save" -> "GIF File" to save as GIF file. (4) Click "Plot Control" -> "Create/Update a Plot File" to create a plot file for reuse.
