How to “turn off” a single curve from the plot without deleting it?

When there are several curves in the plot, it is sometimes useful to temporarily set one of the curves to inactive without deleting it. WinMLS offers several ways of doing this.

 

The easiest way of doing this is to use the legend (turn it on from Plot->Layout->Legend). To set the legend formatting or position, the legend settings are found in Plot->Layout->Edit..., select the Legend tag as shown below.

 

 

Note that if  is checked, a check box is added to the legend. Use this check box to set the curve visible or invisible in the plot. In the example below, the curve named Studio1 is not visible in the plot beause it is not checked in the legend list.

 

 

Note: If WinMLS has more than one plot displayed, all plots will be updated if you click on a curve in the legend list. In the example above this means that the Studio1 curve will be set to invisible in all the plots. If you want a curve to be set invisible/visible in only the active plot, then you can use the methods that is explained next.

 

In Plot->Layout->Edit... all the available curves are displayed, they are shown in the plot only if the check box in front of the curve name is checked.

 

 

This list is also displayed in the List of curves Toolbar (View->List of Curves).
