multiple waves in a row

how can i make multiple waves in a row and not overlaying each other in one graph?
Execute the following command on Igor's command line:

I think that explains how to do what you want to do. If not, it would be helpful if you could provide a more detailed description and/or picture of what you are trying to do.

i tried the stacked plots, but the problem ist the waves start all at once and overlayed.
i want to make a wave and at the end of the wave starts the next wave which is different.
in my case i want to make 3 sinus waves in 2,5 ms then 2,5 ms nothing then 1 sinus wave in 2,5 ms then 2,5 nothing then again 1 wave and so on.
the problem with the stacked plots is, that all waves come at once and not in a row like i wish.
do you have any ideas?

"Multiple waves in a row" is vague terminology but I think this demonstrates what you want to do:
Make/N=100 wave0; SetScale x, 0, 2*PI, wave0; wave0 = sin(x)
Make/N=100 wave1; SetScale x, 2*PI, 4*PI, wave1; wave1 = sin(x)
Make/N=100 wave2; SetScale x, 4*PI, 6*PI, wave2; wave2= sin(x)
Display wave0
AppendToGraph wave1
ModifyGraph rgb(wave1)=(0,65535,0)
AppendToGraph wave2
ModifyGraph rgb(wave2)=(0,0,65535)
Edit wave0.id, wave1.id, wave2.id


This uses X scaling. For further information, execute these commands:
