Making a number of graphs

if you have many waves and want to make many graphs you could do something like this:

Your function call would look like

MakeManyGraphs(wave0, "wave1;wave2;wave3")

To understand what's happening above execute

But if you are new to Igor, you would benefit from doing the Guided Tour.

Thank you so much! Your code works like magic.

Also, I didn't realize that I needed to write the function in the procedure tab, I was writing my code on the command window and was wondering why it didn't work even though it made sense.

I modified your code so that I don't need to write long list of waves.

Is there any other way to count the number of columns on a table? I had already made the table but I need to put the number of columns manually.

It seems like you would benefit very much from reading / doing the Guided Tour of Igor. To open the tour run the following command in the command line:

Regarding your question, it depends. Your function only works because you inserted all your data in a table, and this automatically creates standard data 'waves', with default names wave0, wave1, etc. However, in general the waves have proper names. If you only ever want to work the way you do now, and simply plot columns of a table with default names, then the following code plots all columns without the need to entering a number:

I'll make sure to do the Guided Tour. Thank you so much!
