Preserving Point Labels after Curve Erase

Post by jsc »

David,

I tried looking throught the help and through forum messages, but could not find anything about this. This is for 2.3.1.3.

I have a graph with labelled points associated with curve 3. I erase either curve 1 or 2 or both, and the labels either associate with the new curve 3, or disappear altogether.

I was expecting DPlot to adjust the curve indices, but it doesn't seem to do this with a curve erasure. However, if I reorder the curves, the index to the point label is adjusted. So I have a work around.

Is this something that you could look into? Maybe even a warning that labels will be erased or be associated with a different curve, so that I can stop and try an alternate approach. (Undo does recover it.)

Is it possible that before any curve is erased, that any label (or other item?) associated with it is checked, and the user is warned?

Thanks.

PS: Just tried something. Erasing Hidden curves ahead of the referenced curve causes the problem. If curves are unhidden before erasing, DPlot properly adjusted the point labels.

There's no reason for a warning. This just needs to be handled better. Thanks for pointing out the problem.
