-Temperature, step-value and pressure can also be found under this category. The temperature is in Kelvin by default, but the temperature in Celsius can be obtained by appending **'$c'**, as has already been seen in the **'Favorites'** category. This suffix is known as a **'unit qualifier'**. Another unit qualifier is **'f'** which appended to temperature variable in form of **'t$f'** returns the value of temperature in Fahrenheit. The **'information on variables'** window shows the valid unit qualifiers for the variables:

 ==== Arranging plots in the columns ====
-When there are many plots in the plot window then they will get streched so much that they will eventually become unreadable. In order to obtain a transparency, it might be a good idea to arrange the plots in more than one column. To place the plots in two columns, click on **'plot columns'** in **'Options'** window and type **'2'** in the appearing dialog.

This is found towards the top of the **'Options'** window. Change **'no'** to **'yes'** in the 'use for all plots' line and define the properties of the x-axis in the same way as for a normal x-axis.
