X-Y-Z Plots Guide - Show or Hide a Trace Line (Using X-Y-Z Plots)

Show or Hide a Trace Line

NOTICE

UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR OF APPLICATION

You can hide a trace's content in Run or Design mode. If you are working in Design mode, ensure that the required trace content remains on show when saving the plot's configuration. Content that is hidden when the configuration is saved will continue to remain hidden from view by default.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in data being omitted from display unintentionally

This option is only available when an X-Y-Z Plot's Drawing Mode is set to 'Connect by Point' or 'Connect by Point and Timestamp' (see Configure the Background Color and Drawing Mode).

To show or hide a trace line:

Right-click on the tick (short line) that indicates the trace's position on the x-axis.
A context-sensitive menu is displayed
Select the Show option.
A further context-sensitive menu is displayed.
Enable or disable the Trace option as required.
The trace is shown or hidden depending whether you enabled or disabled the option.

NOTE: There is also a Show>All option that you can use to show the trace, trace label, trace markers, and slice fill color associated with an individual trace. The Show>None option enables you to hide the trace, trace label, trace markers, and slice fill color associated with an individual trace (see Show or Hide the Whole Trace Entry).

Example:

>With the X-Y-Z Plot shown below, the trace lines are hidden for 'Sensor 1' and 'Sensor 3'. In addition, the trace markers for 'Sensor 1' and 'Sensor 4' are also hidden.
