Dear all,

is there a possibility to get the processed and displayed legend text?

So far I know to different options:
a) iterate through all DataPlots and execute the GetLegend() command. This will print a list of possible, standard legend texts, but for all plots - not only those actually appearing in the legend
b) search for the Legend object by iterating over all GraphObjects in the active layer. In this case, one can get the unsubstituted legend text

What I'm searching for is some fictonal option c) to read the displayed legend text, i.e. the actual contents of the legend-object but after legend-text substitution is done.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thank you very much in advance,

Alex

From LabTalk, you can get the actual legend display text by simply

string str$ = "%(1)";
str.=


but to get anything else from the plot (by index, 1,2,3), you can read this
