| Click on the lower plot, and in the **'Options'** window, edit the **'y-data'** line for the first series (**'series #0'**) of this plot. This should currently read **'X$LIQUID$C'**. Append **'*F$LIQUID'** to this - this can be done by pasting the previously copied **'F$LIQUID'** text.\\ | Click on the lower plot, and in the **'Options'** window, edit the **'y-data'** line for the first series (**'series #0'**) of this plot.

| Repeat this process for the other series to give **'X$BCC_A2$C*F$BCC_A2'**, **'X$FCC_A1$C*F$FCC_A1'** and **'X$CEMENTITE$C*F$CEMENTITE'**. Add another variable to the plot: **'XS$C'** (can be found in the **'composition'** section), the mole fraction of carbon in the system. This should be equal to the sum of the other four variables on the plot.\\ | Repeat this process for the other series to give **'X$BCC_A2$C*F$BCC_A2'**, **'X$FCC_A1$C*F$FCC_A1'** and **'X$CEMENTITE$C*F$CEMENTITE'**.

| One way of removing the unwanted part of this line is to select **'Edit series data'** from the right-click menu. In the resulting table of **'Liquid_line'** series, select all the rows for which the y-value is negative and then click on **'Delete rows/cols'** to remove them. Accept the warning with **'OK'**.\\ | One way of removing the unwanted part of this line is to select **'Edit series data'** from the right-click menu.

| An alternative way is to add the series as a **'function/expression'** rather than as a **'buffer result'**. There are differences in the way the program treats these two types of series; for example, in a **'function/expression'** series, x-values are specified as a numerical range, and the y-values are functions of x, whereas for **'buffer results'**, the x-values are specified as a variable (by default, the StepValue), and the y-values as another variable.\\ | An alternative way is to add the series as a **'function/expression'** rather than as a **'buffer result'**.

| When a variable is dragged and dropped from the **'variables'** window, it automatically becomes a **'buffer result'**-type series. To add a **'function/expression'** series, click on the plot, then in the options window, select **'new series'** from the right-click menu, and choose **'function/expression'**. By **'y-data'** for the new series, type in **'Liquid_line'**.
