Curve Locking
Curve Locking
The option works in a similar way to locking in PRIMER and D3PLOT. When the button is pressed at the top of a graph, all currently blanked curves in that graph are locked from becoming visible, until they are unlocked. This allows the remaining unlocked curves to be manipulated without unblanking any of the locked curves. This includes the use of the shortcut keys 'u', 'r' and ,'b'. Locking can also be set via the Curve Table using the graph buttons (see Table for more details).
Once the button is pressed, a popup is attached, providing the option to either unlock the curves in that graph or . 'Freezing' is the equivalent of locking for visible curves, so once a curve is frozen, it will stay visible until unfrozen. This can be set using Quick Pick, the Curve Manager or the Curve Table.
