The graph of the output can be setup with a horizontal axis and 8 vertical axes.  To see the Graph Setup Dialog, right click on the graph, or click the Edit Graph button (28) in Geometry.  A copy of the graph will be displayed with what os plotted or the horizontal axis and what is plotted on each of the vertical axes.  In the center list (Data Columns) is a list of computed columns in the tabular output that are available to show on one of the vertical axes.  To see how this is done watch this short video.
