Several users have requested the entries in a legend to update based on the plot visibility in Grapher. While this feature is not currently available in the Grapher interface, tech support engineer Kassi has written a script that will allow you to automatically update all legends in a visible graph to display only the plots that are currently visible. The script will loop through all the graphs in the open Grapher file and then update the legend in all the graphs that are visible. First download and upzip the UpdateLegend.zip file and then follow these instructions to use the script:

Open the plot that has the graphs and legends you want to update.
Display the Script Manager by clicking View | Managers | Script Manager.
In the Script Manager click the open folder icon.
In the Open window, select the UpdateLegend.BAS and click Open.
Click the Run button, , in the Script Manager to run the script.

Your legend will update to contain only entries from the visible plots.

Exceeding expectations

Golden Software is in a class all its own. Your software is outstanding, but what I really appreciate is when I have a problem, in a matter of minutes, I can get a friendly, live, competent technician on the phone. Who else offers that service in this day and age?

Golden Software support is the reason that I purchased your products. I occasionally have the need to contact the technical support group and have always found them to be very helpful. That level of support is unusual and I appreciate it greatly!

When I first heard of your software from my friend, it was described in near mythical terms. It wasn't until I started using it that the description revealed itself to be apt. The use of these products will no doubt increase the quality and clarity of my research results.
