Good Afternoon Darwin,

Thank you for sending this.  I just tried it and it works for me too.  This is quite nice to know.  I appreciate your efforts and that you shared it with the class.  With a saved template we can set up a graph once and save it as a template and then the second, and third, and so on times we need to make a similar plot, we can use the template.  This will save a lot of time and effort.

Thanks again.

best wishes,
Dr. Morrison
