Making data plots

Hi William,
If you have a line plot, I would use one single line and set the points of the line to the desired data points.
If you have multiple elements, the following might help. I use it to make grids, but I think the principle can be used for charts as well.
You'll create a template object, which you clone all the time. For each cloned element, you set the selected to true and when you have enough, you group them (all the selected objects). Then you set the name of the last created group to whatever you like. You can now also delete that group by name.
Here's an example : The part in bold is the core of it. The rest you'll need to adapt to your needs
on mouseUp
set the cursor to busy
-- ** Fld "Input" contais data about the grid
put line 1 of fld "Input" into OffsetX
put line 2 of fld "Input" into OffsetY
put line 3 of fld "Input" into NrColums
put line 4 of fld "Input" into NrRows
put line 5 of fld "Input" into SizeX
put line 6 of fld "Input" into SizeY
put line 7 of fld "Input" into GridX
put line 8 of fld "Input" into GridY
put line 9 of fld "Input" into BorderBreedte
put line 10 of fld "Input" into NameStart
repeat with x = 1 to NrColums
repeat with y = 1 to NrRows
clone grc "Grc template" -- ** The Template
-- ** Stuff to arrange and size the grid cells
set the width of it to SizeX
set the height it to SizeY
set the lineSize of it to BorderBreedte
set the left of it to x * GridX - (BorderBreedte * (x-1)) + OffsetX
set the bottom of it to y * GridY - (BorderBreedte * (y-1)) + OffsetY
set the lockLoc of it to true
set the selected of it to true
put NameStart & y & "-" & x into tName
set the name of it to tName
end repeat
end repeat
group
set the name of last group to "GGGG"
select empty
set the cursor to Arrow
end mouseUp
Cheers, Beat
