9.7 Exchanging chart data with other programs
There are several ways in which chart data can be interchanged between LogWorks and other
programs.
9.7.1 Exporting chart data
Select in the chart menu:
File->Export chart to .dif…
The entire chart, including all sub-charts, are saved in a .dif file. DIF files (Data Interchange
Format) can be opened by many programs, including Excel.
9.7.2 Copying and pasting chart data
To copy the chart data to the clip-board, select the data by clicking and dragging.
Then select in the chart menu:
Edit->Copy Selection or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-C.
The chart data will be put on the computers clip-board as tab delimited text, which can be
understood and pasted in by many programs.
To copy the entire current sub-chart, including the column and row headers, select:
Edit->Copy current view
You can paste data from other programs into user sub-charts, but not into the standard sub-
charts. The other program must be capable of putting the data as tab-delimited text onto the clip-
board, as most spreadsheets do anyway.
To paste the data in the user sub-chart, select the top-left bin of the area where you want to paste
the data. Then select:
Edit->Paste Data or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-V.
The current view in the chart/graph pane must be a user sub-chart of course.

Select in the chart menu:
View->Overlay on current view->subchart name
To switch off overlays select:
