How do I delete a plot from a waveform chart cluster?

[mindsclay]

I have seen posts with similiar issues but none of them seem to apply to my specific issue. I have a waveform chart "cluster" created by a previous developer. I need to remove a specific plot, but I cannot seem to isolate it for deletion. There is no "building" of this cluster any where in the diagram. I have never created one myself, so I do not know how this one was created in the first place. I can only modify the existing charts axis' and labels, etc. But not delete an element from the cluster.

There are several ways of building waveforms, so if you attached a copy of the VI with the wire, we can see how it was built to give more detailed information.

But it is probably just a matter of either unbundling the cluster and rebundling it without the plot you don't want.  Or if arrays are involved, doing a delete from array to removed the array plot you don't want.

I'm not sure if my method would work for your purpose:

Right click on the graph, -> visible items, click legend.

Now you should have your legend with you, you may have a name or not for each entry, but you definitely have those symbols for each line, you can drag the legend to be longer or shorter to show more of less legend, but the plot will stay the same. However, if you click on the legend symbol once, the corresponding curve will be gone (disappear, not displaying). I'm not sure if this is what you need.

Basically the graph once established with certain number of plots, will not decrease, but you may just not use them through the method above. And I think the maximum number of graph is 10 curves? Not so sure but for me I need to delete two straight lines which doesn't show meaningful data, and above is how I made it.

Good luck!

You should note 2 things

1) The Plot Legend has a Plot Visibility Checkbox option

2) Thirteen Years is a long time to be actively waiting for a response so, the OP has probably already figured something out.

the property LegNumRows is increased, when you drag down the legend menu (or set it via property node)

if you want to delete an entry from the legend - eg an xy graph - you have to respawn the xy graph by deleting it first.

usually, you are re-using the entries of the legend
