Hello,

I want to import a graph from one experiment to another. The graph includes the plot of a wave + several self-drawn objects. I have not found a way to do it yet. It would be very kind if somebody could tell me how it works.

Thanks ahead!
To do this first save a copy of the graph. Choose 'Save Graph Copy...' from the file menu while the graph is in the foreground. This saves the graph as a stand-alone Igor experiment.
Then open the experiment in which you want to import the graph and "press Option (Macintosh) or Alt (Windows) while choosing Open Experiment from the File menu". This merges the graph into the current experiment.
To learn more about merging Igor experiments execute displayHelpTopic "Merging Experiments" on the command line.

You might also look at SnapIt as a step beyond the standard menu option. The recent development snapshot for Igor 6.20 is just about ready for release ....
