Turn off a single plot of a multiple plot waveform graph

[WPS]

I have a multiple plot waveform graph (4 plots). I want to turn off one of the plots, say plot 2. Is this posible from the graphs property node? The property node seems to only give a reference to plot 0. I am using labview 7.
Cheers,

I believe you can do this with a 2-segment property node. IN the first segment, select the "Active Plot" property, In the second segment, select the "Plot/visible" property.

Hope this helps.

I would love to know if this is possible. I have been trying to figure it out
myself.
There is a way to turn a single array off and that is what I am doing for now
untill this is possible. The plot is still there but reads zero when tunred
off. It would be cool to have the abillty to turn off a single plot.
I have tryed all the property nodes with no luck. The answer may be in the
array size but I can't seem to control that either.
For now you can use wire all 4 channels using the comparison selec
t. Use a
constant of 0 And wire up a swtich. When the input is false the output is zero
in effect making the plot inactive but it still there.

Hello Wayne. Using the property node is a right way to solve your
problem, but you have missed one thing. U are recieving reference to
plot 0 because this is the default one, in case u are using
multiplot. You should select element "active plot" from the property
node and then connect it to plot number u want to hide (for example
2). After it, select property "visible" and turn it off.

I worked it out. Attached is example VI.

I think you can use "active plot" together with "plot.visible"
property node to control which one you'd like to display. By default,
the property node refers to plot 0, but you can change to plot 1 or
other plots by changing active plot property node. You can search
"Plot" in LabVIEW Help if you'd like to know details.

Good luck,
Jian

If you have the plot legend visible you can set the color of plots to
transparent [T] at any time. No programming required!

Hi Wayne,

Here is a link to an example vi that shows you how to do it. Basically, it uses the Active Plot property and transparent plot colors to "enable/disable" certain plots.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
