Apply all settings (e.g. color, filled, &#8230;). They are stored with each individual object.  To display them, start with the first register (right click > display). Then open from the ribbon View > Graphics > Compose&#8230; and activate &#8216;Overlays&#8217;. Finally, display all other cell registers and deactivate the overlays option afterwards.  Notes:  * Showing many cells with cell registers can freeze the user interface. * Bring up the desired view before showing the cell registers to minimize interaction with the graphics window. * Open all required panels before displaying cell registers to avoid redraw delays when moving panels around. * Don&#8217;t forget to disable overlays when you&#8217;re done. It should be disabled when displaying the first element that you want to use for your composition and enabled for everything else. * If you combine cell registers with contour plots, vector plots, pathlines or mesh display, keep in mind that the legends might not show correctly. Compose everything that is possible with a scene before using the overlays option.
