Changing the Plot Series Mode
Multiple plot Series can be displayed simultaneously as an Overplot on the same set of axes, or individually with single stepping or animation through the data set. There are 3 animation modes: Continuous, Single Cycle, and Rock. The 4 plot series modes are described in the table below.
