The Multiple File Plotting dialog allows you to select multiple files with intersecting data (for example, multiple runs of a particular test) and plot the data from all files simultaneously in the current HyperGraph session. To access the Multiple File Plotting dialog, click the Multiple File Plotting icon, mult_file_selec_icon, on the Build Plots panel.

Intersecting data refers to files that contain the same type, request and component information.  After making your selections and closing the dialog, you are returned to the Build Plots panel where you can select the type, request and component options for the X and Y data.  Click Apply on the Build Plots panel to plot the data for the selected files. From the Multiple File Plotting dialog, you can define the curve name, curve color and line style, as well as generate file sets for the current session.

Note        If the selected files do not have data that intersects with the first selected file, the Type, Request and Component fields will be empty when you return to the Build Plots panel.
