[Orca-users] Multiple Plots on a Page

Hi all...new subscriber here.

I'm currently trying to chart out the Hourly -> Yearly charts for 9 groups of data.  What I would like to have is an index page such that, if I click "Hourly", all 9 Hourly charts of data will appear.

What I have done so far is created 9 different "groups" and 9 differnt "plots" in my config file.  This seems to be "functional" but really makes maintenance (as well as the index.html page) a mess.  It doesn't make much sense to me to have an index page where you have 9 sets of links that output the same thing.  I'm less concerned with this, though, than I am maintaining the config file.

Since 2 of the 9 data sets are similiar, and the other 7 are also, I figured I should be able to setup 2 groups, using wild-cards, and 2 plots, using the wild cards.  I found that, when I do this though, clicking on "Hourly" only shows the charts for the 2, if I click on the 1st 2, or 7, if I click on the last 7.

As a test case, I put one of the groups' "find files" entries in parenthesis.  This one, out of the nine, did not show up on the common "Hourly" page.  This leads me to believe that orca somehow treats groups differently if you explicitly define the group as opposed to setting up multiple groups using parens/wild cards.

Any idea on how to get this to work?
