The Plot Gallery allows you to create a collection of plots. Plots saved in the Plot Gallery are not images, but snapshots of the settings you used to create the plot. Virtually everything about the plot is saved except for the settings in the Plot Options, which are shared by all plots in the project. (The XY Freestyle plot type has its own settings for individual line styles, and so can be useful when you don’t want to change the line styles in all Gallery plots using Plot Options.) When you re-display a plot from the Plot Gallery, it restores the sidebar and all other settings dialogs to the state they were in when you added the plot to the Plot Gallery.
In general, any number of plots may be stored in the Plot Gallery, and there is no limitation on the number of plots of each type that can be stored. However, the Plot Gallery currently does not support the History Match or Flow Tables plot types, cell label options, inactive grid display options, pick blanking sections. Polyline geometries are not currently saved.
The Plot Gallery is part of your Tecplot RS project. Plots saved in the Plot Gallery are saved when you save a project, so if you do not save a project file, your Plot Gallery will be lost.
Gallery plots work on the data sets loaded with the project. If those files change, for example with a new simulator run, the Gallery plots will reflect the new data when the project is next opened.
To save a plot in the Plot Gallery, choose Save from the Gallery menu and specify a name for the plot. Each plot must have a unique name; if you specify the name of a plot already in the Gallery, you will be asked if you wish to replace the existing plot with that name.

The name you specify here is not a file name, so it can contain characters that are not legal in filenames. Commas, quotes, asterisks, spaces, and other special characters may be used (up to 80 characters total); however, both slashes and backslashes will be replaced with vertical bars.You may also save a Gallery plot using the Plot Gallery dialog (see following).
