The Welcome dialog also lets you clone any graph that you've already made. You can clone a graph from an open project, a recently-used project, or a graph that you've saved as an example. Cloning copies all the features of a graph, but lets you replace the data and other parts that you'd like to change.
Try it yourself
1.
To add a new data table, graph, and analysis to your existing project, click the New button in the Sheet section of the toolbar and choose "New data table and graph."
2.
Click on the tab for Cloning a graph from an opened project. You also can clone from recently-used projects, or saved example files.
3.
Select your sample graph and click the Clone button in the lower right corner.
4.
You will then get to choose which parts of the graph to include on your new cloned graph. The default is to delete the Y values, but keep X values and column titles. At this step, you could also change your subcolumn format if you have more or fewer replicates than you had on the original graph. You can also rename your new graph. For this tour, call "Clone of exponential decay graph."
5.
Let's make another change. Click on the Subcolumn Format tab and choose to have only one Y value for each X. Prism will then create a new data table with the same X column, but with only a single column for Control and for Treated.
6.
Enter the new values as below.
7.
Then click on the name of your new graph in the Prism Navigator. Prism has recreated a new graph and curve from the new data. All the graph's formatting -- colors, fonts, etc. -- matches the original. Even the embedded table of results have been recreated.
