Show/Hide Plot Items Window

For all plot sheets, except those associated with SimuMatic, the Show/Hide Plot Items window allows you to select the data you want displayed on the plot. To access the window, choose Plot > Plot Actions > Show/Hide Items or by right-clicking a plot and choosing Show/Hide Items on the shortcut menu.

The appearance of this window will vary depending on the plot type and the data type used.

Subset displays the available data sheets and/or plot items, if applicable.
Name displays each item (e.g., data points, function line, contour, etc.) available for display on the plot.
Points/Line/Bars/Slices allows you to select how the values for the item are displayed (e.g., remove certain slices from a pie chart, choose to display intervals using points, lines or both, etc.). Clicking the header of this column will toggle between selecting all options in the column and clearing all options in the column.
