I used to be able to change strip chart colors "on the fly".
This facility was available pre Version 8.5 - see http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/Changing-color-in-a-Strip-Chart/m-p/2292246/highlight/true#M6...
This would allow me to change the color for future points and NOT affect what was already plotted. This is the way that ATTR_TRACE_COLOR used to work.
As the above discussion thread says, this feature was a bug, but a very useful one at that!
Could we have a control that worked in this way ATTR_TRACE_POINT_COLOR which would only work for points plotted from thereon, the strip chart still scrolling as it does at present.
I believe that this could be done if I used a graph control, but that would involve explicity redrawing the graph for every plot point to achieve a scrolling display.
