Hello,
In the attached plot, I was given this solution to shade the range of my simulated plot between 300-3000 on the x-axis using cursors. I wanted to change the range now but I do not know where to find the second plot (Plot 1 in the attached graph) that controls the shaded region. Even though I turn on the legend, I still do not see where to change the range of the shaded region. Can you tell me where/how to view this "hidden" second plot so that I can change the range of the shaded region? Thanks!

You attached what appears to be a Waveform Graph of data (Current vs log(frequency) called Plot 0, with a pair of Cursors (Cursor 0 and Cursor 1) with Plot 1 being a plot of the two Cursors (Yellow) and a shaded plot of the area below the Current data shaded in Red.
Because this is a static Indicator, you can't (easily) change the positions of the Cursors. You can, however, open the Plot Properties (or simply click on "Plot 1" in the legend in the upper right corner of the Plot) and change the properties of the "Cursor Plot". If you move the mouse so it is over the image beside the Plot name "Plot 1", it should change to a finger. Right-click and the Properties of the Cursor Plot will be revealed. "Color", here, refers to the color of the region outlined by the (Yellow) Cursors. It extends downward because the property "Fill base line" is to -infinity.
More complete information can be found by right-clicking the Graph, itself, and choosing Properties from the Dropdown (at the bottom). If you look at the "Cursors" Property, you can see they are Vertical Yellow Lines.
Finally, you might notice that the Labels on the Plot (like "Current (uA)" are in White (very poor design -- very hard to see). You might think that this should also be a "Graph Property", but it's appearance "appear" to be considered as associated with the Graph as a Front Panel Object, hence under the control of the setting in the Menu Bar that now says "15 pt Application Type". There, you will see that you (for some inexplicable reason) chose to use the color "Control Background" (instead of Black) for the Graph labels.
So go modify your Graph, run your program again, and you should be able to move the cursors and have the regions you want to see be colored the way you want.

Can you "save for previous"? I cannot open LabVIEW 2021 Vis.
