Add, Delete, and Rename Edit-Text Entries

Edit-Text datasheets are used to enter the text to be plotted in the changeable text fields in the log header and footer.

The LogPlot Data Editor's Data menu, and its right-click pop-up menu, offer the following tools for adding, deleting, and renaming rows in Edit-Text datasheets.
