Select the Open command on the File menu. The only built-in file format for 1D plots is file type M on the Select File Type dialog:

This is an ASCII file containing one or more groups of amplitudes. These files produce a box-and-whisker plot or dot graph. The format for this file type is:

NumGroups

do i = 1,NumGroups

 Label

 NumPoints

 do j = 1,NumPoints

   Amplitude(j,I)

 end do

end do

Amplitudes may be on separate lines or be grouped one or more values per line.
