Chart property node behavior

[RRRRSSSS]

I trying to create a stacked chart with options to go from 1-16, problem I'm having is the plot back color does not change in every plot., fore color appears to work every time.

I have attached an example vi.

Could not open your VI, since I have LabVIEW 7.1 installed on my system.

But, are you setting 'active plot' property before assigning BG and plot color to each of your stack plots??

Look at attached pic

I converted it to LV 7.1.

 It looks to be working running as LV 7.1

Hi RRRRSSSS,

You specified a wrong value ("T") instead of RGB color value for the "PlotAreaColor" property in case "One" of the program. Infact you only need to specify this property in case "Two". So, I simply remove the "PlotAreaColor" property in case "One". Checkout the modified version (Modified Chartplayground.vi).

I was attempting to "hide" the plots in case "one" by making them transparent.

I tried LV 8.01 & 7.1 versions again, 7.1 is working but 8.01 is not 😞

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do...

First question:  Why the random number generator?  You are sending the same value to all the charts.

Are you attempting to modify one chart at a time or all of them differently, but at once??

The random number is to just supply sample data to the chart.

What I'm attempting to do is  have a chart display anywhere from 1-16 plots depending on how many are selected and have the plots that are not selected to be hidden.

The vi that  posted is a test vi.

If you run  version 8.01 ( first post)  case "one" should "hide" all plots ,case two I enable 5 plots and change the plot fore color to red and back color to yellow .

On my computer when this vi  runs only the bottom plot back color changes to yellow, the rest are gray ,the fore color (red) is good on all plots.

I did save a copy to version 7.1 per request in the second post and it does run as I would expect, but the 8.01 version does not.

Ok,

Now I get (see) what you are describing.  It was not working for me in LV 8.1.  I had to select auto indexing... 

I'll look at it between breaks...
