Rows
Besides Title and Rulers, all other drawing in Waveme takes place in the rows region.
A row can hold one of four types of waveforms: or be a Spacer row or a Time Axis.
Any row can also include arrows, labels and value-lines.
For consistent look, all rows and waveforms share common options. These are the initial values seen when a new item is created. Most of these options are default values, which means they can be further adjusted on a per-item basis.

Copy/Paste a row
You can copy a selected row, and then paste it either into the same diagram or into another diagram.

The copy/paste operation uses the computer's clipboard to store the copied row.
