Add an Enable / Disable ALL Plots to plot visibility checkbox option multi-plot xy graphs and waveform graphs

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 4 kudos within 4 years after posting will be automatically declined.

When there are more than a few (say 4 or more ) plots on waveform or xy graphs, often you want to compare one vs another.

An option to turn on or off ALL plot visibility checkboxes would be ver useful for interactive visual comparison of the data .

For ex: 10 plots on xy graph display. Turn on ALL displays all. Turn off ALL turns off the display.

Hi jj2,

 

I also have the same issue. Did you find out any solution?

I use a subvi and pass a reference to the XY or waveform plot. Then using the value property as an indexer for a for loop, set active plot, and make Plot Visible = TRUE or FALSE depending on whether to turn all on or off. I have an enum with following": ALL ON, ALL OFF, DO NOTHING Its annoying to have to hunt for the subvi when it should be built into LabView

Can you please share your subvi, so I can have an idea of the structure.
