I am beeminding my weight, how much I eat and how much I exercise. I would love to be able to layer all my graphs one over the other (with the data points or lines in different colors) so that I can see correlations. Is this possible? ---

Nifty idea. You could [export each goal’s data](https://www.beeminder.com/faq#qimp) and hack together a spreadsheet. Just like stock-market comparisons, you’d have to rebaseline all the data so that the changes are relative. Unlike stock-market comparisons, there’s no common scale. The data is also likely to be sparse, with missing and duplicate measures. And the datapoints aren’t pre-aggregated, so you’d need to deal with multiple datapoints on a single day. All that depends on your goal set and the particular composition that you have in mind, of course. Seems really hard to get right in the general case. _Aside: literal superimposition is easier, but may or may not do what you want. Download your graph images, make them translucent, overlay them. You can even control all the x/y limits of the graph generation, on the advanced settings pages._ ---

Yes! I actually meant literal sumperimposition. I know how to standardize the X axis to that the days matched up. Could you walk me through the steps of downloading the graphs and then making them translucent? ---

My X axis is days and my y axis is manual entry and/or auto-total so I have a common scale for the x-axis. For the y-axis, I would just need to adjust the the positive slope graphs so that they are close enough together to see correlations. With the negative slope graph (weight), I guess I would either need to invert the slope or would just need to eyeball it (which would be good enough for me). ---

Hi Jen! Downloading the graphs is easy, just right-click on the image and save. As for the transparency/opacity, you can adjust this in an image editor (I use [acorn](http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/) on the mac), or if you’re handy in html/css then you could maybe make use of [this stackoverflow tip](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5073532/how-do-i-make-an-image-semi-transparent). Least effort may be to load them into powerpoint/keynote and set the image transparency there. ---

Thanks much. I will try it.
