Graph Legend question

Share icon

One short question:

when using the 
Legend
command for a graph, is it possible to skip a selected trace on the graph from appearing in the legend?
I have always a certain wave on a graph which I would like not to appear in the legend ...

I hope the question makes sense ...

Thanks!

It can be done only programmatically. Here is an example:

Function AddLegend(graphName)
	String graphName		// "" for top graph
	
	if (strlen(graphName) == 0)
		graphName = WinName(0, 1)	// Top graph
	endif
	
	String list = TraceNameList(graphName, ";", 1)
	String legendText = ""
	Variable numItems = ItemsInList(list)
	Variable i
	for(i=0; i<numItems; i+=1)
		String item = StringFromList(i, list)
		if (CmpStr(item,"wave1") == 0)
			continue			// Skip this trace
		endif
		String itemText
		sprintf itemText, "\\s(%s) %s", item, item
		if (i > 0)
			legendText += "\r"		// Add CR
		endif
		legendText += itemText
	endfor
	
	Legend/C/N=MyLegend/W=$graphName legendText
End
