    Summary: Given a collection of minimal graphs, \(M_1, M_2, \dots, M_n\), with isothermal parametrizations in terms of the Gauss map and height differential, we give sufficient conditions on \(M_1, M_2, \dots, M_n\) so that a convex combination of them will be a minimal graph. We will then provide two examples, taking a convex combination of Scherk's doubly periodic surface with the catenoid and Enneper's surface, respectively.
