Plotting a line with opacity

[Ralph]

Thanks, Ralph. I've kicked it around and what I get with 255 is no number for opacity, then three numbers. If I change it back to 125, then I get 125 followed by the three numbers.

This topic is complicated enough and I gave you the wrong instruction in addition, sorry about that. I wrote to use an opacity of 255 but ment an value of 254. This makes the big difference. The color is still nearly opaque but the color is presented as 4 numbers.

As far as I can tell, it makes no difference. I also tried changing the colorup,down,side & opacity value to Browsable = true in the Properties section, but - apart from getting them displayed - it also made no difference. Changing the opacity to 255 just meant the opacity number was not in the drop-down box, although you can still type in a different number, i.e. 125, and it works fine. But to change the colors - thus far at least - the only way to do it is in the code and reload the instrument.

I think we can conclude the following:

Your concept with the own color definitions in conjunction with an opacity value in property-grid is worthless, because you don't get these values into the plot-definitions after they have been set-up once.

As a workaround you still can type in the colors as the 4-number-representation into the plot-property to get the desired opacity.

A clean/final solution would be to add an additional field to the plot-property definition (opacity or transparency). But that's something to be done by NT.
