 Extending multi-color line chart to multiple data sets |

I am trying to plot energy usage.
The multi-color line chart is excellent for this since I can plot each rate type "Peak", "Off-Peak"... in a different color.
However, I would like to overlay several days worth of usage on the same graph. Is there an easy way to extend the multi-color line chart this way? |

Hi KeithB,
Would you to clarify exactly how you would like to "overlay" several days worth of usage on the same graph?
Do you mean to draw multiple lines like in a Multi-Line Chart, with each line being multi-color? I have tried to do this with 2 lines (see attached image), and I think the chart would be hard to read if there are many such lines. In brief, you can always add multiple line layers to a chart.
Another way to have multiple lines is to draw them as separate XYChart objects, then combine them together using the MultiChart container. It is like:

If you need further help, please let me know which way you would like to "overlay" several days worth of usage on the same graph.
Best Regards

I am still looking for the best way to present the data. I have attached the data for one day. Since the colors stay the same for each chart, I think it might not be so unreadable.
So For now I want to overlay multiple daily plots, just like you showed.

| Hmm, on second thought that might be too confusing. Is there a way to put a "cursor" line that I can use to differentiate different time "zones"? |

| Never mind about the cursor, just found the "zone" example. |
