LabVIEW - Create Custom XY Legend

[Pete.Dunc]

Overview
This example VI shows a way to change which data is viewed and have a legend which updates accordingly.

Description
To programmatically control which plots are visible on a GraphChart Control, property nodes such as setting the plot visibility are often used. One new feature in LabVIEW 2012 is a checkbox to toggle which plots to be shown on the graph. Unchecking this box will remove the plot from the graph and 'grey-out' the plot image. So this example can help you to remove items from the legend as you wish. It provide a way to change which data is viewed and have a legend which updates accordingly.
