After placing a new graph, we might want to go to the plot properties dialog and change the color, label, etc. of the plots we want.
Bzzzt. No go! We can only edit plots that have been added in some other way. (by resizing the plot legend, wiring and running once with data representing several plots, etc.)
For comparison, have a look at the cursor tab. Here we can add and remove cursors at will.
My suggestion is to add the ability to add or remove plots on the plots tab properties page of graphs and charts.
It could look like in the image on the left.

Well, if you have unlimited time and resources, you can write an initialization subVI every time you place a graph. 
In my case I placed a graph and I know I needed three plots: One with points, and two with lines of different color and line width. After placing the graph from the palette, I wanted to immediately setup these three plot properties. This dialog is much faster than constantly clicking on the legend and do one property at a time. I was surprised that I can only modify one default plot and there was no way to add more without first exiting the properties dialog and jumping through some flaming hoops. 
That should not be necessary.
