Howdy, all. I'd like to to plot multi-column data, a line of which might look like, e.g.: x1 y1 y2 y3 y4 y5 using Mathematica. (I might have several tens of columns of data.) (Yes, I know MultipleListPlot would handle sets like {{x1,f1(x1)},{x2,f1(x2},..}} etc, but this requires clumsily defining several dozen new standalone data arrays.) How to accomplish this efficiently appears mystically opaque to my untutored eyes, or perhaps I'm addled from too much US election coverage. A Google search on this group's archives, MathSource, and the Wolfram site with the inoffensive keywords plot multi-column data yielded doodly-squat (actually, less than that). Any suggestions? Many thanks!
