Dynamic XY plot colors and legend

[jon_mcbee]

Hello,

I am parsing data out into a multiplot XY plot, I need each data set to be a different color, and I need to have each data set have its name in a legend.  I am currently using the Plot Multi-XY.vi and plotting as a picture (is this the only way to have multiple plots on an XY graph?).  I dont know how many data sets there will be for each plot .  Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You can have multiple plots on a plain xy graph. Check the online help for the various ways to hook up the data. You can dynaically set the color and legend using property nodes.

What is your data type you want to plot? (dynamic, arrays of x and y, arrays of xy pairs, complex, ....)
