// Igor can display waterfall plots using the NewWaterfall operation (choose Windows->New->Packages->Waterfall Plot).
// This requires storing your data in a 2D wave. You can also create a 3D waterfall plot using Gizmo.
//
// However, for the common case of displaying a series of spectra, you may find that a "fake waterfall plot"
// is more convenient. And it works with your original waveform or XY data.
//
// A fake waterfall plot is a regular graph with multiple waveform or XY traces where you use Igor's X and Y

// Deconstructs an Igor date/time value (seconds since 1904-01-01) into
// its component parts (year, month, dayOfMonth, etc.).
// Because it uses pass-by-reference parameters, this function can be called
// only from another user-defined function. See the Demo function below for usage.

// These procedures create a table displaying the waves used in a graph.
// They add an "Edit Waves in Graph" item to the Graph menu.
// They handle waveform and XY data.
// You can run the procedure again on a given graph. It will add waves associated with
// any new traces to the table.
// The procedures do not remove waves from the table if the corresponding waves
// were removed from the graph.
// Example:
//	Make jack=sin(x/8), joe=cos(x/8)
//	Display jack, joe
//	Display jack, joe
//	Make xData = p, yData = p/128
//	AppendToGraph yData vs xData
