Hi David

Recently, I am extensively using the dataobjects. This allow me to have, in a single file, data set coming from same experiment but from different trial or experiment configuration.

So, in the dataObject, I generally add content, with describtion to recall the trial configuration (let say for exemple, incident beam at 0º, incident beam at 10º ....)

It would be nice if, in the legend command of dataGraph, I could be able to automatically retieve the "content describtion" of the column I am displaying. Since you are writing in the column group, it should be possible to also catch it to display it in the graph.

William.

There is a variable called "String parameter from Data Object". This is a way to extract out the parameters defined in the data file. I added a variable "Table Description" that allows you to extract the description string for each table. You can then use this in a token.
