Hi Mason,

Good question. I assume you are using the Value Plots, Display Type. The way I
would tackle this problem is define the variety of layout models you desire.
When you wish to view them at the same time, I would layer them in the view.  So
go back to your field selector and create multiple displays for the given field.
Then in the control (which you access by clicking in the Legend of the Display)
for each display select the desired Layout Model. Basically, you are approaching
this problem by overlaying multiple Displays.

As to your follow up question, I would take an existing layout model, modify it,
and "Save as" to get an altered layout model.

I hope that helps.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
