How do I turn off Plot 0 of a multi-plot Graph?

[Bob_Schor]

I'm plotting multiple channels of data, using the Plot Visibility Checkboxes to turn on or off specific channels so I can just see the channels of interest (see figure).  However, if I attempt to turn off Plot 0, I cannot -- the check box stays checked.  As the example shows, however, I'm able to turn off (or on) each of the other channels.

How do I turn off Plot 0?  [This seems, to me, like a "silly question", but I haven't been able to figure it out, yet ...]

very surprising... this happens just after placing the graph on the FP?

it works fine for me in 2011 SP1, have you done anything special to your graph?

Try replacing it with a new multiplot graph and see whether it works.

This was reported as CAR #368466 which is resolved with LV 2012 SP1.

Thanks, Norbert -- glad I wasn't losing it (not to say that I'm not ...).  Until I get SP1 installed, I'll "program around" this by putting my own checkbox "on top of" the graph, detecting a click, and fiddling with the property node of the graph to turn the plot on and off.

Incidently, where do you find the checkbox control?  I found the relevant palette by using LabVIEW Help on "Checkbox", which seemed to take me to the Boolean palette, but there were controls (such as the checkbox) that didn't appear on my Modern palette.  Is it another palette?  [Never mind -- while Asking the Question, I figured out the Answer -- it's on the System palette].

Norbert is correct, this is a known issue for LabVIEW 2011 which was fixed under SP1. However, we do have a work around available if you still do not have LabVIEW 2011 SP1. With the plot visibility checkbox enabled, Left-click on the legend icon for Plot 0 and toggle the "Plot Visible" property. This should make it so you can still turn plot 0 on and off. This information can be verified by visiting the link below and searching for CAR #368466 (only search the number). Hope this helps!

This bug is still present in LV2012 SP1 f3.
