How to generate a time-history plot

So called time history plots can be created based on a previous displayed sequence of data-sets (see ``Toggle Dataset Sequence'') with the command ``graph''. Sometimes the user wants to avoid the animation. This can be done if the required entity was selected before the sequence of datasets were selected. Do not select the entity but use the graph command instead. It is also possible to use only the command line. For example:

- lc 1 e 3
- lc 1 2 10
- graph set t

will produce a time history plot for the nodes stored in set over all loadcases from 1 to 10 for the entity nr 3. For more details and other options look into the ``graph'' command description.
