Add Trace Property -
Click to add a trace property field. The data for
the trace does not have to be

assigning attributes to more traces
than your data currently needs for when you
have more data to show. It is not necessary to set properties for
each trace you currently or subsequently have. This is optional and can be done
after additional data is displayed in a subsequent new trace. Delete Trace Property - Removes the last
