Highlight one curve in an XY-Multiplot

In an XY-Graph containing up to 100 curves I want to highlight one curve. Currently I do this by simply setting the plot.color attribute to a different color and making plot.LineWidth somewhat thicker, but:
 
I have not found a way so far to place my selected curve "in the foreground" - in other words, the more curves I have, the more likely some other curves will get "on top" of and obscure my selected curve to an extent that it is often hardly visible any more.
 
Who knows how to overcome this behaviour ?
 
Thanks HU

This doesn't work.

I've had a similar problem in the past.

The Z-Order of the plots is constant.  I can't off the top of my head remember if the first or last is top-most, but it's constant anyway.  The only way to work around it is to insert (a copy of) the plot at this location dynamically to force it to be drawn over all others.....

Ugly solution, but it's the only one I found personally

Shane,

thanks a lot for the good answer, I was expecting something of that sort ... I will proceed exactly as you suggested.

Its a bit of a nuissance, but I will be able to live with it !

 

Thanks again Helmut
