Pen Control question for Ignition Perspective Power Chart

Ignition
1

Hello!

  1. By default the power chart comes with a detailed pen control table which we can collapse by hitting the button. Is it possible to have the pen control table collapsed by default? Is there something in the properties i can change?

  2. Currently if a user wants to only look at 1 pen he has to manually unselect the remaining ones. Is there a way to just select one and unselect all the rest easily?

Scripts can write to:

  • props.config.showPenControlDisplay
  • props.pens.N.visible (N starting with zero)

among many others.

hello!

My question regarding the power chart is, what is the solution if I don't want to give a TAG as a value to the Pen, but e.g. the value of a Dropdown value.
There are several elements in the Dropdown, and each has its own value.
These appear in the value, dynamically, as I select the elements in the Dropdown.
But the value value is dynamically overwritten with the value of the selected element.
I would like to display this in the Power chart, if possible, or if it makes sense.

Or if that is a better solution, e.g. a Derived Tag should be loaded with the Dropdown value, and then it is easier to add it to the Power chart config (tagBrowserStartPath: ) ....?

(Sorry, we are still beginners....)

Late answer, but for your no. 1 question: legend.visible - set it to true.
