To post-process, I want to generate a set of plots (<5) with a different number of quantities (~5) plotted in each plot. So far, I did this using the Plotting view in OMEdit. However, doing this time and time again, with the mouse, after every start of OMEdit, gets tedious very quickly, so I want to automate this. AFAIK, there is no way to programmatically define a set of plots belonging to a certain model, which get generated/refreshed after every simulation of said model. Adeel suggested [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40283482/how-to-automate-plotting-a-certain-set-of-values-after-simulation-in-omedit here] that ""we could have [an] OpenModelica specific annotation to make it work"" and that I could submit a ticket. I have also tried to do this with an OMNotebook which runs the simulations and creates the plots. In theory this would be nice, but the `plot()` command there does not honor defined `displayUnit`s. Also, this necessitates a separate set of code to be maintained, so is less useful. Also, the `plot` API does not seem to allow to programmatically save the generated plots to an image file, but the same problem exists in OMEdit - you have to press buttons." enhancement closed high Future *unknown* duplicate
