[Read New File] Save Custom Graph (by copy) [-] -
There are two ways to save your customizations: by copy, into ONE file, or by reference to other files. There is a distinct button for each method. The Save Custom Graph (by copy) button causes all data AND customizations to be saved into one convenient file of your choosing. This method is convenient for archiving the results of individual experiments or data-sets. With this, you may combine data from many files, together with your specific annotations and explanations, into one file. The customized graph-file can be retrieved at any later time. It is convenient to use a naming convention for the save-file which denotes the experiment, date, etc., to facilitate organizing large collections of results. This method is also advantageous for cases where you cannot be sure the constituent data-files will remain. You can re-load a saved file by invoking XGRAPH with just that file name.
