Hi All,

I am wondering if there is a way to hide the time selector widget at the bottom of the EasyChart component in Ignition Vision. I cannot find any property that allows it, but it would be great if was possible! I am on Ignition 8.1.41. I have attached a picture of the widget below for reference.

Thanks!

Maximize the chart. It’s a tick box about 3/4 the way down in the properties.

~~They’re not asking to hide the actual X-Axis, but the Realtime Selector.~~

The maximize option unfortunately hides the Pen Selector tool on the left, is there a way to keep that while only hiding the time selection?

A little introspection, and there isn't much in vision you can't do.

Place the following in your `configureChart` extension function if you wan't this always hidden.

Or you can add the for loop to a custom method on the chart that could be called from anywhere if you wanted to be able to toggle the visibility from a button.

```python
def showComp(comp,name,show=True):
    for this in comp.getComponents():
        if name in str(this. __class__ ):
            this.setVisible(show)
            break
        showComp(this,name,show)

#if you choose to make this a custom method, then these calls would go to where
#you are calling the custom method.

#This hides the Label, Duration Spinner, and Unit Selector ComboBox
showComp(self,'RealtimeDateRange',False)
#This hides the pause button
showComp(self,'RTPauseButton',False)

```
