Don,
This is a great discovery for me -- I added "%datasourcname% to the
"Extra Legend Labels" for each display and it gives me exactly what I
wanted -- the ability to determine which datasource each display is
associated with. In fact, I like it so much I would like to make
this the default behavior for new displays I create in IDV. Is there
something I could add to my DefaultIdv folder to make this happen?
Thanks,
Rich
