Disappearing graphs

[clara boltonParticipant]

Hi,

In need of some urgent help please!

I have just opened a datagraph file with many graphs in it… and all of the lines in all of the graphs have disappeared (i.e. I cannot see the lines, yet the plots are still there in my window, and all the data are still there in the correct columns… I am a bit unsure what to try to recover my graphs (last night they were fine…). Here is a screenshot – as you can see none of the grahs have lines (but the range shading and annotations/legends are still there). I am happy to send the whole file by email.

Thanks for any tips, maybe I am missing something really obvious (hope so!)

Cheers, Clara

Can you take a look at the corresponding data columns seeing if they are still there?

Replying to myself: I have figured out what has happened; it appears that the data column commands (for x and y in each plot in each graph) have all been shifted by 1 column –  I am not sure how this could have happened (because inserting rows does not do this…?). Is there any way to fix this (i.e. to shift all plots by -1 column), or do i need to go back to each graph and change the x and y column for every plot manually?

Cheers

Yes they are still there – but all the columns have shifted, see above!

Hello, I am sorry to say this has happened to me again (a few times since my first post) and I really cannot figure out what is causing it (me I guess, somehow?), or how to fix it without re-selecting the correct data column (1 column up in the list) for each and every line/error bar in each composite plot (which is a lot, the way I work!).

Is there a way of recovering the last saved version please of a file please? I just opened a DataGraph File to see that this had happened again, I closed it, but I guess it autosaved because when I reopen it is the last version.

Any help gratefully received! Happy to email file if that helps.

Clara

eta: I tried looking in the version history to restore an older version, but the same problem is present in all the previous versions (even though everything was correct when I was working on the file before today)…
