Background Segments with Time channel for X-Chn

[JuliaDawkins]

I assume I'm doing something obviously wrong here, but I cannot seem to get "background segments" in VIEW working when my 2D-axis X-channel is a time channel (and the background segment x-channel is also a time channel).

I'm attaching my data and TDV files.  In the first VIEW sheet, the top graph shows that everything is fine if I use a numeric channel instead of a time channel for the x-channels.  Sometimes if I zoom in to my second graph with the time channel I see gray (the color I chose for my background segment). I'm using DIAdem 2015 and 2017.

Thank you for any help you have!

Hello Julia,

two small things to get it working:

In the background segment definition you use the Y-channel "[1]/Reduced_NightTime1" which should be named "[1]/Reduced_NightTime".

In DIAdem the Date/Time channel in VIEW is always drawn from left (lower date) to right (higher date). You Date/Time channel is stored in a descending order. If you sort the channels it will work fine.

Thank you! I'd noticed my cursor was moving backwards also but didn't think to check the order of my data thank you again!!
