Issue
Want to graph Group Objects and select the graphed points pen colors and symbols.
Environment
Continuum Cyberstation
Cause
The pen labels (color and symbol) are based on the sequence of the objectID of the graphed objects. The objectID is assigned to the object sequentially when it is created. Similar Group objects on different controllers will most likely not have the same Pen labels for graphed objects.
Resolution
Unfortunately, there is no way to change the display order of the Pen Labels in a Group object.
The pen labels (color and symbol) are based on the sequence of the objectID of the graphed objects. The objectID is assigned to the object sequentially when it is created. Similar Group objects on different controllers will most likely not have the same Pen Labels for graphed objects.
As an example, the logic of how the Pen Label displaying order is decided is below:
- In Controller1, three inputs have been created in the order of Input01, Input02,Input03.
- In Controller2, three inputs have been created in the order of Input03, input01, input02.
-
The Group Graph in each controller will display these three input Pen Labels as the same order of their creations as below;
- Pen label order in the Graph of Controller1 : Input01, Input02,Input03
- Pen label order in the Graph of Controller2 : Input03, Input01,Input02
