Removing plot from plot legend in LV 2011

[LDBM]

Hi,

With LV 2011 it is now possible to use a check mark in the plot legend to hide/show a plot. I am running into a problem though: I cannot remove any legend items from " old plots" once they are added.

As in the image above, I plot a first set of data that consist on 6 channels: 3 "Tones" and 3 "old channels". If sbsequently I only send to the plot the 3 "Tones", I cannot get rid of the Old Channels. I tried to use the Legend Properties, but they fall short. Any idea ? Thx.

It looks like this is a hang-over on an old issue:

You found a good forum about this, I just wanted to make sure you noticed that the solution was on the bottom of the second page of the forum: http://forums.ni.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/170/message-id/701555
Thoric included an example VI that clears the legends like you want.

Thx Chris for the pointer

The VI test is re-linked here.

It sort of does what I was describing, however this is a bit of a trickery to get it work. If you stop the VI and expand the legend the old plots are still there. But I am cherry picking .
