Hi!

The current cursor, in the plots, is represented by a little cross. Sometimes it will be very useful to have a vertical cursor (parallel to y-axis) going across all the activity charts while in stacked view.
With a long vertical line it will be possible to observe and understand better the correlation between different measurements (like HR and Power or Power and L/R balance, etc).

Please see the attached image as example.

Thank you!

You can have a reference vertical line if you click and drag with the cursor over any of the horizontal axes, it looks like this:

Thank you for the reply Ale! This is used to mark the exhaustion points as far as I know and is of little help. What I'm looking for is a simple cursor that doesn't need any click (mouse or keyboard) interaction.. just by moving it. Ultra simple and intuitive. For every chart it displays the current value (for example time/space; power; HR; speed; elevation) along the line. This is useful when you don't want the "non stacked view", because is too messy, and want to know the exact value of some of the recorded data in a precise moment. Maybe the attached image is more clear now.
Is this feasible?


EDIT: attachments not working.

That's right but, while you drag the cursor over the x-axis the temporary exhaustion point works as a vertical reference line in stacked view, provided the button is released over the axis this line is automatically deleted and no dialog to add an exhaustion point is presented. It has no labels, just like your original request.

I theory? Yes, of course. In practice? I don't know, this chart is a very big and complex piece of code and, I'm afraid, is not a simple change.

OTOH to add labels similar to the existing temporary exhaustion line would be a simpler and local change, the look would be similar to your recent picture but the need to click and drag instead would remain.
