Plot Window
A plot window is the area used for creating and modifying graphs. When you first open Grapher, you can choose to start from an empty plot window. Multiple plot windows can be open at one time. Click the document tabs to easily move between multiple plot windows.
Plot Document Pages
A plot document can have multiple pages. By default a plot document is created with a single page.
- Add pages to the plot document by clicking the + button next to the page tabs. Pages are displayed as tabs at the bottom of the plot window.
- Remove pages from the plot document by clicking the X on the tab.
- Double-click the tab name, type a new name, and press ENTER to rename the page.
- Duplicate a page and all of its contents by right-clicking the desired tab and selecting Duplicate in the context menu.
- Click and drag the page tabs to reorder the pages.

Tab View
The plot, worksheet, and grid windows are displayed as tabbed documents. When more than one window is open, tabs appear at the top of the document, allowing you to click on a tab to switch to a different window. The tabs may be dragged to reorder them. When a document contains unsaved changes, an asterisk (*) appears next to its tabbed name. The asterisk is removed once the changes have been saved.
