"linkCurves"

Links two curves with each other in order to display the same value range for both curves.

Synopsis

setValue(string shape, "linkCurves", string curve1, string curve2);

shape.linkCurves(string curve1, string curve2);

Parameters

Parameter Description
shape Name of the object.
curve1 Name of the curve whose scale values will be applied.
curve2 Name of the curve to which the scale values of curve1 will be applied.

Description

Links two curves with each other. Zoom and Movement of the axes then apply to two curves. The scale of each curve will be still displayed and can be set invisible in the property window. Circular linking is not allowed (e.g. curve1->curve2 and curve2->curve1)!

Note: "linkCurves" and "unlinkCurves" should not be called twice with the same curve pair.
Note: If linkCurves is used and one of the involved curves uses the curveAutoscale option, auto scale and the scaling of the curve will be used for all linked curves.
Note: If linkCurves is used and multiple curves should use curveAutoscale, this option must be set explicitly for all curves.

EXAMPLE

The example shows two screenshots. One screenshot without linking and a second screenshot with linked curves.
