multiple data handling

hello,
i want to plot two wavelet spectra of two time series data in a same canvas. how can one open two data sets simultaneously.
thanks

In MatLab? Ferret? where?

1.You can assign the two datasets to different variables and use.
In MatLab, just give
>>f1 = netcdf('filename1.nc', 'nowrite');
>>f2 = netcdf('filename1.nc', 'nowrite');
Now filename1.nc and filename2.nc are opened simultaneously.

In Ferret just use
>set data filename1.nc
>set data filename2.nc

Then when you refer the variable give [d=1] or [d=2]

2. In MatLab, if you want to plot two figures in the same canvas,
after plotting the first one, give
>> hold on;
then plot the next.

do >> hold off;
after your job is done.

In Ferret, just add "/overlay" in your command.

sorry, it is in matlab.
in a program, ascii data is used. and some computations are done for wavelet analysis and significance. so in a plot i want to plot two wavelet analysis of two different series of data. there are 5 subprograms and all are linked.
i did 'subplot' for same data. but the same things have to be repeated for two sets of data.
load 'x.dat'
v = x;

and llike. will it work if load another.dat
y=another is applied? dont try it. if anybody has done iit like, please tell
