Plot names as y-axis

[vadym]

Hello experts!

I need to represent y-axis value (numbers by defalt) as a channel (plots) names. Example on the attached picture.

The quantaty of plots will change from time to time as a plot names. So i will need to control it programmatically.

As i can see it is not easy to do by normal tools (graph properties..)

Any idea would be helpfull.

Thank you.

Look at these two threads for the answer. There is no direct way to do it so you will have to use a picture control to achieve what you are trying.

BEN is very helpful in expaling how to accomplish what you are looking to do.

Sorry, not sure you get my point correctly..

I don't need any picture obgects on the graph area. There will be a normal traces.

What do I need is the name of that traces represented as a A, B, C.. as scale for y-axis (see picture), Instead of the 1, 2, 3.. by default.

THe only way to do that is to place a picture container over the graph and use this to make the names. I do understand what you want but you are doing something that the graph was not meant to do. This is the only work around that i have seen on this forum.

This is the example I think Tim had in mind.

It does the X-Axis and you just have to mod for the Y-axis.
