I plot data on top of a plot with a fresh pen.

Variants

You can change any of the values in text boxes. Named colours are black, white, gray, red, orange, brown, yellow, green, lime, turquoise, cyan, sky, blue, violet, magenta, and pink. More colors can be specified.

Related Micro-behaviours

USE-PEN-TO-ADD-TO-PLOT -- I use a previously declared pen add to a plot

CREATE-PLOT -- I create a fully specified two-dimensional graph

CREATE-AUTO-PLOT -- I create a plot that scales dynamically as the data is produced

CREATE-EMPTY-PLOT -- I create a fully specified area where other micro-behaviours can draw graphs

CREATE-EMPTY-AUTO-PLOT -- I create an area that scales dynamically as where other micro-behaviours draw graphs

CREATE-HISTOGRAM -- I create a histogram 

How this works

It creates a temporary pen and uses it to repeatedly update the plot named in the first text box.
