How to update multi-handle graph with a new set of data points

Question

I have multiple sets of data that all have the same number of columns but different numbers of rows. Each column is plotted on a graph. I want to keep the format of the original graph with the same number of handles, and update each handle with new data points by bringing in a new set of points.
See attachment for example.

There are several ways to do this.
1. You can create a HiQ script that plots the new data to the graph using the existing plots. The following three lines plot the new data into the three existing plots (indicated by the plot handles.) Put these lines into a HiQ script object, right-click and select Run.
addplot(Graph2D_1,-1,data2[*,1],data2[*,2]);
addplot(Graph2D_1,-2,data2[*,1],data2[*,3]);
addplot(Graph2D_1,-3,data2[*,1],data2[*,4]);
2. You can do it interactively by right-clicking on the individual plots and choosing Change... This will being up a dialog you can use to change the data in that plot. This will be difficult to do when plots are right on top of each other, so you may want to display the plot legend, where you can also right-click a
nd select Change...
3. I like your idea about DataSocket. This way it will happen automatically. Whenever the matrix published to DataSocket changes, the plot should automatically update.
I hope this helps.
