OriginPro 2021 (64-bit) 9.8.0.200
Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
Greetings!
If I prepare crossplots I usually add y=x bisect plot to make comparison easier.
Since the line is obvious I don't need it in the graph legend.
How do I exclude the function plot from the legend, so it does not re-appear upon legend reconstruction?
Thank you.

Only by the name of the object. If you rename the legend, a new one will be created, that is why Snow's workaround is to keep it but hide it.

Got it.
Thanks.

Hi Andrey,
I created ORG-25354 with 2 suggestions.
1. Option to Hide legend for function plots.
2. Option to lock legend so Update Legend will not reconstruct the hidden entries. Again, i suppose Reconstruct Legend should bring them back.
A workaround for now:
Select Legend box and Ctrl+C. Then Ctrl+V. This actually create a Text object called "Text". Remove Entries from this Text object.
Go to Object Manager dialog.
Right click top node and choose Show Graph Objects.
Uncheck legend box so it will be hidden
Now try reconstruct or update legend. It will only update the hidden legend box. It will not affect your "Text object"
Thanks, Snow
Dear Snow,
Seems to be a viable workaround.

Is there any reason you need to reconstruct legend after you manually choosen some legend not to show?
In Plot Details dialog, if u go to Graph node on the left and choose Legends/Titles, u can set Legend Update Mode to None so when u change data, the legend will not change.
But again reconstruct legend will remake legend.
Thanks, Snow
Dear Snow,
The problem is that the legend remakes completely even if I call Legend Update, not Reconstruct.
Is there a way to remove few legend entries (rows) and block their recreation on Legend Update?

The option is still required.
Can you share an update on the topic, please?

Sure, but the deleted item will re-appear once I reconstruct the legend.

Great workaround!
Thank you.
However, in general, is this possible to selectively hide plots from the legend?
