Group when Drag and Drop Plot checkbox is added and checked by default on Graph tab of Preferences: Options dialog. Corresponding system variable is @DDG.

Rules:

  • If there is a single plot in existing graph, drag and drop more column(s), group them together.

  • If there is a group of plots in existing graph, drag and drop more column(s), group them together.

  • If there are multiple groups of plots or a mixture of single and grouped plots in existing graph, then still use old mechanism: If drag a single column, add as a single plot, if drag multiple column(s), add as a new group.
