Masking pens
By default, all pens in a trend are visible. However, too many pens on
one display can be difficult to read. To enable operators to hide or
show individual pens, set up pen masking.
The Trends graphic library contains buttons that are already
configured for pen masking. To use these buttons, drag and drop them
into your graphic display.
To set up pen masking, create an expression that sets the value of the
bit for the \PenMask control tag. To show the pen, the bit must be 1.
To hide the pen, the bit must be 0.
