curve_name | An Existing Curve | Specifies a string of characters that identifies a curve. |
Extended Definition:
1. Once deleted, the curve may not be retrieved. The curve may be identified by entering only the "curve_name" on the default plot, or entering the full name of the curve for a plot other than the current (see help for curve_name). The curve may be recreated using the XY_PLOT CURVE CREATE command.
2. Curve names are assigned by the user when curves are created. After a curve has been created, it may be referenced by its name until it is deleted. A curve may not have the same name as another curve on the same plot. A curve is associated to a plot and may be referenced at any time with respect to the plot. For example, a curve named "c1" on plot "p1" may be referenced by the full specification of ".p1.c1". This type of full name specification avoids the need to force a given plot to be the "current" or "default" to reference data (that is, a curve) associated with it. This is very useful when copying a curve from one plot to another and so on.
A curve_name may be arbitrarily long and a combination of letters of the alphabet and numbers may be used. The leading character must be a letter.
