Hello guys,
This is my first time posting on this forum. Nice to be a part of the community.
I'm trying to set up a "dashboard" on vensim using the input output object. It has sliders for the input variables. The changes in the model can be easily observed using this dashboard and the output graph. My problem is that i want to overlay graphs for different variables in the same output graph. So that the behavior of 3 4 variables can be visualised side by side. But i cant figure out how to plot them together.
Note: I'm using vensim PLE. I've attached a screenshot,

You will need to create a custom graph and display that in the IO object. Click the "Control Panel" button at the top to access the custom graph definition area.

Right. I generally use a custom graph only where variables are closely related an have the same units. For example, the inflow and outflow of water from a lake would be good candidates.

Otherwise, it's better to create multiple graphs on the screen. It's hard for people to interpret things with different units on the same chart.
