For maximum flexibility, properties to be edited could be 'unfrozen' later, if needed. Hi Tobias - it seems like a good idea. Some thought would be required on how to do this in terms of UI and internally. By the way, you can do what you're doing in some cases by 1. After changing a setting, change the default for that setting so that other widgets inherit that. 2. Select multiple widgets, so you can edit their settings simultaneously. I've thought about user-definable subwidget types, which would be widget types with different (user definable) defaults. This could be one approach. Alternatively, as you say a clone would be a possible idea, though you'd need some UI to propagate settings back to the original.

Please let me know if this should be done differently. Veusz is a fabulous program. It's extremely powerful and aesthetically beautiful (but you all already know that). I have written a program to configure the raw data output from my HP impedance analyzer into a form Veusz will import, including data and labels, so I can get beautiful plots of the instrument output to put into my lab reports (example attached). Everything is working perfectly except for one thing. I would like to see a widget for a data trace marker as an element of a Veusz xy graph. This would be a line or marker which can be slid back and forth to read out the data at the line position. The readout could be placed anywhere on the graph. I'm attaching a screen shot of an application which has this type of function. The vertical line can be dragged back and forth and the horizontal line follows the data. The dialog box shows the X and Y data. Hi Gerrit, Welcome to the list, and this is certainly the appropriate place to ask questions or make feature requests. In this particular case, it may be that Veusz actually already has part of the feature you are looking for: the crosshair icon on the toolbar (in between the mouse arrow and the zoom-in icon in the default layout) is a point picker tool. It reads back the index and value of the selected point in the status bar and supports navigation using the left/right arrow keys to scan along one curve and up/down to jump between curves. What it does not do -- but certainly could be added as a widget -- is give some permanent display on the plot canvas. For now, you'd need to draw the crosshairs yourself using a pair of lines and a text label if you want to highlight a specific point in your lab report.
