Popup Trend views

Building the submenu is a little confusing but the actual logic to get stuff to the window instance is pretty simple. The other chunk of scripting is to take the passed tagPaths and build the proper chart configuration dataset from them.

Context Menu Script 
from functools import partial

def addToTrend(event, selectedDataItem, window):
	""" Add selected data item to existing trend window """
	# Grab the existing list of trend items from the window root container:
	trendDataItems = window.rootContainer.trendItems

	# Add the selected data item's path/id to the dataset
	newTrendItems = system.dataset.addRow(trendDataItems, row=[selectedDataItem])

	# Put the new dataset back into the params for the window
	window.rootContainer.trendItems = newTrendItems

	return


def openTrend(event, number, selectedDataItem):
	""" Open selected data item in a new trend window """
	# Create a new dataset with the selected data item path
	newTrendItems = system.dataset.toDataSet(['tagPath'], [[selectedDataItem]])

	# Open a new instance of the trend window
	system.nav.centerWindow(
		system.nav.openWindowInstance("Path/To/Popup/Trend", {"trendId": number, "trendItems": newTrendItems}))

	return


def buildAnalogValueContextMenu(event):
	""" """
	mainMenu, mainItems = [],[]
	
	subMenuA, subMenuB, windowIds = [], [], []

	# Get a list of all opened trend windows
	openWindows = system.gui.findWindow("Path/To/Popup/Trend")

	# Grab the tag path or some other id of the data we want to trend
	selectedDataItem = event.source.tagPath

	for window in openWindows:
		if window.path == "Path/To/Popup/Trend":
			# Grab the popup window number from the window's parameters
			popupWindowNumber = window.rootContainer.trendId

			# Add window id number to list so we can avoid collisions
			windowIds.append(popupWindowNumber)

			#Create sub menus
			subMenuA = subMenuA + ["Trend %d" % popupWindowNumber]
			subMenuB = subMenuB + [partial(addToTrend, number=trendId, window=window, selectedDataItem=selectedDataItem)]

	if len(windowIds) > 0:
		# Lazy collision avoidance, take largest number in the list and add 1
		newTrendWindowId = max(windowIds) + 1
	
	else:
		newTrendWindowId = 1

	# Add option to create new trend popup
	subMenuA = subMenuA + ["New Trend"]
	subMenuB = subMenuB + [partial(openTrend, number=newTrendWindowId, selectedDataItem=selectedDataItem)]

	# Pack menu and display popup menu
	subMenu = [subMenuA, subMenuB]
	
	mainMenu += ["Create Trend"]
	mainItems += [subMenu]

	
	return system.gui.createPopupMenu(mainMenu, mainItems)

Using the above project library functions I then made a template that is just the analog value display, that takes the tag path for the analog display.

On the template 'mouseClicked' handler I put:

if event.button == event.BUTTON3:
	newMenu = path.to.project.library.package.buildAnalogDisplayContextMenu(event)
	newMenu.show(event, event.x, event.y)

I have pturmel's Integration Toolkit installed so I'm able to make the required trend dataset using the following expression:

Trend Dataset Expression 
unionAll(
	asMap(
		"NAME", "str",
		"TAG_PATH", "str",
		"AGGREGATION_MODE","str",
		"AXIS","str",
		"SUBPLOT", "I",
		"ENABLED", "B",
		"COLOR", "clr",
		"DASH_PATTERN", "str",
		"RENDER_STYLE", "I",
		"LINE_WEIGHT", "F",
		"SHAPE", "I",
		"FILL_SHAPE", "B",
		"LABELS", "B",
		"GROUP_NAME", "str",
		"DIGITAL", "B",
		"OVERRIDE_AUTOCOLOR", "B",
		"HIDDEN", "B",
		"USER_SELECTABLE", "B",
		"SORT_ORDER", "I",
		"USER_REMOVABLE", "B"
	),
	if(
		len({Root Container.trendItems}) > 0,
		forEach(
			{Root Container.trendItems},
			asMap(
				"NAME", split(it()['tagPath'], "/")[len(split(it()['tagPath'], "/"))-1, 0],
				"TAG_PATH", "[ProviderName]" + if(
					len(split(it()['tagPath'], "]")) > 1,
					lower(split(it()['tagPath'], "]")[1,0]),
					it()['tagPath']
				) + "/pv",
				"AGGREGATION_MODE", "MinMax",
				"AXIS", "Default Axis",
				"SUBPLOT", 1,
				"ENABLED", True,
				"COLOR", color(175, 255, 25),
				"DASH_PATTERN", "",
				"RENDER_STYLE", 1, 
				"LINE_WEIGHT", 1.0,
				"SHAPE", 0,
				"FILL_SHAPE", True,
				"LABELS", False,
				"GROUP_NAME", "",
				"DIGITAL", False,
				"OVERRIDE_AUTOCOLOR", False,
				"HIDDEN", False,
				"USER_SELECTABLE", True,
				"SORT_ORDER", None,
				"USER_REMOVABLE", False
			)
		), asList()
	)
)

Otherwise, you'll need to make an additional project library function to take the single column dataset trendItems from the trend popup root container and transform it into the required dataset for the trend chart.

The required properties on the trend popup for my script to work are windowId of string type, trendItems of dataset type, and trendId of integer type.

Edit:Found it Passing New Parameters to an Existing Popup Window - Vision.
