Importing two different datasets in Veusz

Question

I am new in veusz and I cannot figure out how to import two separate datasets as *.dat files into veusz such that I can ultimately create a single data plot with various datasets.

When I import a dataset through Data--> Import--> Standard -->filename_B.dat, it just rewrites the previously imported dataset instead of creating a new one...

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

You can either:

• Enter different dataset names for the columns (space separated) in the "Dataset names" edit box for each file - see the manual on descriptors.
• Or enter different prefix or suffix values (see import dialog) when importing. The prefix and suffix are prepended/appended to the imported name.
