Hello all,

I am currently trying to learn how visibility works in Ignition. For clarity, I have worked with almost solely FactoryTalk prior to now.

I have a line that I want to change colors when the state is either 0 or 1, which I got working. But while another value (we can call it HMIOutput) is active, it would determine if the line is visible or not, regardless of the state it's in.

Any help would be much appreciated !

There should be a property on the line component called `visible`. Put a binding on that property pointed at the `HMIOutput` value.

> **[Vision - Line | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/vision-components/misc/line#properties)**
>
> The Line component displays a straight line. It can run north-south, east-west, or diagonally.

Also, make sure the filter in your property editor is set to "All":

Otherwise, it will hide many of the available properties.

That was the issue! Figured it out eventually, but appreciate the response!
