You can export TICs and chromatograms from the MS plugin with the Chromatography tool by selecting the MS spectra (in the 'Page Navigator') and following the menu 'Mass Analysis' to select the appropriate option.

 

chromatograms

 

You can export only one chromatogram ('Export Chromatogram') or all the chromatograms in a MS spectrum ('export all Chromatograms'). You can also stack all the chromatograms by selecting 'Export&Stack All chromatograms' option:

 

stack chromatograms

 

You can also stack chromatograms by selecting them in the 'Page Navigator' and following the menu 'Stack/Stack items'.

 

Selecting 'Export Chromatograms'  will display a dialog to allow you to select the chromatograms to be exported.

Alternatively, you can make a bulk selection/deselection by chromatogram type via clicking the "More" button. Only the buttons for the chromatogram types detected will be enabled. Any time "Select" or "Deselect" buttons are pressed, the Chromatogram Type selection is removed. The OK button is enabled only after at least one chromatogram is selected.

An additional option "Stack the selected chromatograms" allows to export and stack the selected chromatograms at once. If it's not checked, each chromatogram gets exported to a new page.

 

Once you have created the stacked plot, you could analyze how the integrals are changing by using the 'Data Analysis' feature. Here you can find an example:

You can display the title of each trace from the Properties dialog box, by selecting "Position: Inside" and checking the 'Stacked' box:
