Example:

W1: gnorm(1000,1)

W2: integ(w1);overlay(W1, lred)

 

overlays the series in W1 onto the series in Window 2. The two series can be scrolled and scaled independently, preserving their own frames of reference.

 

 

Remarks:

Each overlay in a Window has its own set of scales.

 

In order for an overlay to be updated automatically when the Window is updated, it must be part of the Window formula.

 

Use UNOVERLAY to remove an overlayed series and axes.

 

See STRIPCHART and SETPLOTTYPE to create a stacked stripchart of multiple series.

 

See OVERPLOTALL to add overplots to a stripchart.

 

See NUMFOCUS to return the total number of overlays in a Window.

 

See XYALT to create an XY plot with an alternate X axis.
