Chart digital display does not scroll when legend scrolls

Hi all, I have a multi-plot chart with legend & digital display visible. The legend has scrollbar since the number of plots are more. I see that the number of digital displays is same as the number of plots in the visible area of the legend (for example if there are 10 plots visible in the legend at a time then there are 10 digital displays). So this means that there is some relation between the legend & digital display. But the relationship stops there I think. The below do not work. 

  1. When the legend is scrolled the digital display does not scroll. And there is no property node specific for digital display scrollbar.
  2. When a plot is hidden by unchecking the checkbox next to its legend, the digital display still displays the value for it. Ideally it should be displaying 0 or NaN. This is a relatively minor issue compared to #1.

Please let me know your suggestions on how to synchronize the digital display with the legend.

 

Thanks,

Priyadarsini S

Hi Priyadarsini,

 

I'd be tempted to report a bug for this (part 1) - it seems like it probably should behave differently.

As a possible workaround, you can create your own digital display, but it will be a bit more code that you have to write (and would presumably prefer not to).

Here might be something that demonstrates initial steps (I'd suggest taking the most recent values and updating an array that you place next to your chart).

I suspect part 2 is as intended - the digital displays show the most recent value for a specific plot, regardless of its visibility.
