# How can I combine two plots that were created in different notebooks?

I have two different programs for simulating a system. when I get the results I have plotting result for each. now I want to combine both drawings so that I compare between them. I want to put both of them on the same picture. How I can do that? for example; I will attach two drawings.

my second question is that how to change the color of the line after drawing?

Did you have a look at Show? –  Pickett Nov 4 '13 at 18:00
Like @Anon said Show should do the trick if I understand your question. Please elaborate on your problem. –  abhilash sukumari Nov 4 '13 at 19:21
@barznjy, what do you mean by having two different programs? Did you use mathematica to create the plots, or another program? You don't have all of the data accessible in a single notebook? Do you still have the data, or just the plots? –  Jason B Nov 4 '13 at 20:02
@barznjy, What is the result when you try to do exactly that in Mathematica? Open the two notebooks that have the plots in them (call them notebooks 1 and 2), then open a new notebook (notebook 3). Highlight the plot from notebook 1 and hit copy. Go into notebook 3, type g1= then hit paste, and enter. Do the same with notebook 2, naming that graphic g2. Finally, just enter Show[g1,g2]. You should get what you want. –  Jason B Nov 4 '13 at 21:20
@barznjy I do agree that you have to better state your question, but I just assumed this was a non-native English problem. Here, the most descriptive title for your question would be "How can I combine two plots that were created in different notebooks". That can help us to figure out how to help you. Also, I just noticed that there was a second question, concerning how to change the colors of the plots after you've created them. The answer can be found here: mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/17250/… –  Jason B Nov 4 '13 at 23:58

(*let's simmulate your environment*)

(*First we create a notebook*)
nb1 = CreateDocument[ExpressionCell[Defer[p1 = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}]], "Input"]];
(* The another one *)
nb2 = CreateDocument[ExpressionCell[Defer[p2 = Plot[Cos[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}]], "Input"]];
(*pause*)
