Each graph tree consists of zero or more headers or branch nodes that contain leaf nodes such as graphs or trees. Multiple graph trees or branches within a single tree can be combined to form a very powerful way of organizing your graphs. </P ><DIV CLASS="SECT2" ><H2 CLASS="SECT2" ><A NAME="NEW_GRAPH_TREE" >Creating a Graph Tree</A ></H2 ><P > To create a new graph tree, select the <SPAN CLASS="GUILABEL" >Graph Trees</SPAN > menu item under the <SPAN CLASS="GUILABEL" >Management</SPAN > header.
