Export Data to Clipboard should only export Visible Plots

Status: New

Currently, if you have N plots in a graph and you only select a few, the contextual menu item "Export Data to Clipboard" will export ALL N plots.

 

My suggestion (based on my end user expectation) is to only export plots which are set as "visible".

 

By visible I mean those with the visibility checkbox checked off.

The  current workaround is to export plots one by one going into the caption part of the graph and using their individual  "Export Data to Clipboard" functionality. This is not convenient when you have say 18 plots and want only to export 7 of them. In addition to be a tedious workaround, it also does not provide the same ouput, since you get one data set for each plot.

That seems consistant with users expectations.... Kudos!

I think sometimes we may want to see only one or two curves from a bunch but need all data exported. I this way I think that the user should always have the option of exporting the data related to the visible curves or all. As an option kudos!
