Plot entities are used to associate and organize curve entities within a xy plot window.  Plots can be created from and are shown under the Plot folder within the Model browser.

Plots have a display state, on or off, which controls the display of a xy plot window and all associated curve entities in the graphics area.  The display state of a plot can be controlled using the icon next to the plot entity in the Model browser.

Plots also have an active and export state.  The active state of a plot controls the display state of the plot and the listing of the plot and all associated curves in the Model browser and any of its views.  If a plot entity is active, then its display state is available to be turned on or off and the plot and its associated curves are listed in the Model browser and any of its views.  If a plot entity is inactive, then its display state is turned off permanently and the plot and its associated curves are not listed in the Model browser or any of its views.

The export state of a plot entity controls whether or not that plot and all associated curve entities are exported when the custom export option is utilized.  The all export option is not affected by the export state of a plot.  The active and export states of plot entities can be controlled using the Entity State browser.

The data names associated with plots can be found in the data names section of the HyperMesh Reference Guide.
