Plotting
Legends
Plot Legends were improved as follows:
• Markers can now be shown in the legend on a per-marker basis.
• Both curves and marker legend items can be removed from the legend. Configuration controls are available in the individual configuration dialogs, the Configure Multiple Plots and Curves and from the right-click context menu.

Adding Snapshot Curves
Snapshots are way to preserve results between runs; see
Snapshots in Output Utilities and Data Visualization for details. For comparison, it is useful to plot both the slot and one or more of its snapshots. The plotting utility now allows you to quickly add curves for the associated snapshots. Under the
Add Curve button,
Plot menu, and right-click context menu on the legend item, there is now an
Add Associated Snapshot Curve option (see
Figure 4.2).
Defaults and Settings Dialogs
The plot Preferences dialog was split into two separate dialogs for clarity:
Better Defaults
Plotting now provides better defaults: a white background, thin dotted gray major grid lines, no minor grid lines, and system fonts. Also, the RiverWare plot default settings can be easily restored. A Restore RiverWare Default button was added to the Plot Defaults dialog and Plot Page Settings dialog.
Copy Plot as Image
You can now copy a plot as an image to the Windows system clipboard for pasting into other applications. This allows a plot or a plot page to be copied and then immediately pasted into an external document without exporting it to a file.
