use graph cursors to highlight an area

[vix]

It can be an easy question, or a difficult one, I don't know:

is there any cursor property (i.e. fill to left, to right, to to, to bottom) that can be used to fill some graph areas?

I've been trying to have the same behavior like the graph in SignalExpress (highlight an area with blue color) - see attachment

It is not straight forward and will require code to implement. What can be done is to use two additional plots to work from where you can set one to fill above and the other to fill below.

The two added plots would consist of the same data as the plot in question but only for the time period of interest. All value before and after should be "NaN" (not a number so that those points do not plot ant points).

Readjust the data sets in those two plots any time the cursors move.

I hope that helps,

This workaround seems OK, but it requires too much code...

I think that NI used a smarter way in SignalExpress...

I watch for better solutions.

Has someone from NI some ideas that require less code?
