Floating graph elements

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 5 kudos within 5 years after posting will be automatically declined.

It would be nice to be able to define elements like plot legends, cursor legends, etc. as floating, so that when they are turned on they do not require extra space in the window. The user could turn them on, make changes as needed, then turn them off again.

 

thanks,

Dan

Floating is easy: Just place the legend over your graph and add a button to your UI to toggle the "Legend:Visible" property. Floating AND draggable is a little more work, but still achievable with property nodes. Native support for this might be nice (but I generally find coding my own legend is often necessary anyway). Half kudos from me, which rounds up of course 🙂
